Robot-Assisted Versus Open Sacrocolpopexy: A Cost-Minimization Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 2012
Abdominal sacrocolpopexy is considered a standard of care operation for apical vaginal vault prolapse repair. Using outcomes at our center we evaluated whether the robotic approach to sacrocolpopexy is as cost-effective as the open approach.After obtaining institutional review board approval we performed cost-minimization analysis in a retrospective ...

Instantaneous wave-free ratio compared with fractional flow reserve in PCI: A cost-minimization analysis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology, 2021
Background: Coronary physiology is a routine diagnostic tool when assessing whether coronary revascularization is indicated. The iFR-SWEDEHEART trial demonstrated similar clinical outcomes when using instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) or fractional flow

Cost Minimization Analysis of Ganglion Cyst Excision

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2017
Cost minimization analysis can be employed to determine the least costly option when multiple treatments lead to equivalent outcomes. We present a cost minimization analysis from the payers' perspective, of the direct per patient cost of arthroscopic versus open ganglion cyst excision.

Analysis and simulation of payment cost minimization and bid cost minimization with strategic bidders

2011 IEEE/PES Power Systems Conference and Exposition, 2011
Presently, Independent System Operators (ISOs) in deregulated electricity markets in the U.S. use an auction method that minimizes the total bid cost when determining units to be on and their generation levels (Bid Cost Minimization or BCM). It has recently been shown that this method of auction does not provide minimal consumer payment costs for 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 mainstay treatments in cutaneous lupus erythematous

Dermatologic Therapy, 2021
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) can be treated with multiple oral immunosuppressants but cost analyses of these treatments are lacking. We aimed to assess the relative cost difference between various oral medications for CLE using a cost-minimization analysis. Annual direct costs for 10 oral medications used in CLE were calculated including cost of

Tympanic or Rectal Temperature Measurement? A Cost-minimization Analysis

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
In a cost-minimization study, we compared tympanic and rectal body temperature measurement in inpatients in a department of internal medicine. At all measurement volumes in a sensitivity analysis, tympanic temperature measurement had markedly lower average cost than rectal measurement, indicating a large savings potential if the former technique is ...
