Activated protein C: cost-effective or costly?
The authors offer a commentary on the study by Dhainaut et al. on the cost-effectiveness of activated protein C in severe sepsis. Using data from "real world" conditions, the results of this economic evaluation are consistent with previous analyses, and highlight the need for "real world" investigations of new health technologies in critical care.
متن کاملCoronary stenting: costly or cost-effective?
In today's health care climate, decisions about new technologies need to reflect measures of cost as well as clinical benefit. By estimating the cost-effectiveness ratio for a new treatment compared to a current standard (e.g., stenting as compared to conventional PTCA), it is possible to decide whether the new treatment represents an efficient use of limited health care resources. In this anal...

متن کاملReadmission following hospitalization for pneumonia: the impact of pneumonia type and its implication for hospitals.
BACKGROUND Readmission rates following discharge after pneumonia are thought to represent the quality of care. Factors associated with readmission, however, remain poorly described. It is unclear if readmission rates vary based on pneumonia type. METHODS We retrospectively identified adults admitted to an index hospital with non-nosocomial pneumonia (January through December 2010) and who sur...
متن کاملIncentivizing Cost-Effective Reductions in Hospital Readmission Rates.
The recent regulatory changes enacted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have identified hospital readmission rates as a critical healthcare quality metric. This research focuses on the utilization of pay-for-performance (P4P) mechanisms to cost effectively reduce hospital readmission rates and meet the regulatory standards set by CMS. Using the experimental economics labor...
