A cost-utility analysis of pediatric cochlear implantation.
OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to explore the cost-utility of pediatric cochlear implantation, incorporating savings associated with education into the analysis. METHODS The costs of pediatric cochlear implantation were based on the full costs levied to purchasers, inclusive of complications and maintenance, by a large pediatric cochlear implant program in the United Kingdom. ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine if the choice of health utility measure affects the incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) when assessing the cost-effectiveness of bilateral cochlear implantation (CI). STUDY DESIGN A scenario-based estimate with three scenarios: 1) a patient with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss with no intervention, 2) the same patient with a unilateral CI wit...
متن کاملEstimates of the cost-effectiveness of pediatric bilateral cochlear implantation.
OBJECTIVES Objectives were, first, to estimate the additional number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained by deaf children from bilateral compared with unilateral implantation (DeltaQ); second, to estimate the additional cost to the healthcare system in the United Kingdom for providing bilateral compared with unilateral implantation (DeltaC); and, third, to compare the values of increm...
متن کاملAge-dependent cost-utility of pediatric cochlear implantation.
OBJECTIVES Cochlear implantation (CI) has become the mainstay of treatment for children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Yet, despite mounting evidence of the clinical benefits of early implantation, little data are available on the long-term societal benefits and comparative effectiveness of this procedure across various ages of implantation-a choice parameter for par...
متن کاملSequential bilateral cochlear implantation in children
Binaural hearing offers several advantages over monaural hearing including improved speech understanding in the presence of background noise and the ability to localize the source of sounds. Patients who have undergone unilateral cochlear implantation perform poorly at these binaural tasks despite their improved hearing capabilities. Bilateral cochlear implants have restored these abilities in ...
