Cost-Minimization Analysis of Robotic-Assisted, Laparoscopic, and Abdominal Sacrocolpopexy

Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology, 2010
To perform a cost-minimization analysis comparing robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy.Cost-minimization analysis using a micro-costing approach (Canadian Task Force classification III).A decision model was developed to compare the costs (2008 US dollars) of robotic, laparoscopic, and abdominal sacrocolpopexy. Our model included

Multivariable cost functions: analysis of cost minimization

Simpozion Ştiinţific al Tinerilor Cercetători, Editia 23, Vol. 2
In the era of an economy based on efficiency and optimization, cost reduction has become a strategic priority for any company. The article addresses the topic of multivariable cost functions, highlighting their role in the process of optimizing economic decisions, especially in the context of minimization of the production expenses.

A cost-minimization analysis of laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus open cholecystectomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1996
Earlier economic analyses have evaluated charges but not costs, and have not considered the cost of production losses associated with open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study attempted to accomplish an economic evaluation of open versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy from the point of view of society.A cost-minimization analysis, using a ...

A Cost-Minimization Analysis of Alternative Treatment Strategies for Achalasia

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
The aim of this study is to compare the costs per cure of alternative strategies for the treatment of achalasia.A cost-minimization model compared three strategies for otherwise healthy adults of any age with achalasia: 1) laparoscopic Heller myotomy with fundoplication (LHM); 2) pneumatic dilation (PD), with LHM reserved for treatment failures; 3 ...

Cost-Minimization Analysis of Open and Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2016
Carpal tunnel release is the most common upper-limb surgical procedure performed annually in the U.S. There are 2 surgical methods of carpal tunnel release: open or endoscopic. Currently, there is no clear clinical or economic evidence supporting the use of one procedure over the other.

Cost-minimization analysis of capsulotomy after ECCE and IOL implantation

Ophthalmic Epidemiology, 1996
An economic evaluation of capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation was carried out using a cost minimization model. This model demonstrates the use of cost comparison to aid the decision making process.

Computer-supported systems analysis for wastewater control cost minimization

Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 1984
This paper demonstrates the use of computer-supported systems analysis in the derivation of least cost responses to municipally generated water pollution. In particular, a computer program is used to identify the least cost solution from a total system perspective by assembling all major treatment options and calculating their associated removal ...

What Is Cost- Minimization Analysis?

2009
This chapter analyses the appropriate use of cost-minimization analysis (CMA) as a valid and reliable method of health economic evaluation based on high-quality sources of clinical evidence with regard to the clinical equivalence between two drugs. The chapter emphasizes the manner in which CMA has previously been misused to support ‘me-too’ drugs ...
