REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY AND INFERTILITY Laparoscopic tubal reanastomosis versus in vitro fertilization: cost-based decision analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
STUDY DESIGN: Using decision analysis techniques, we compared cost-effectiveness of tubal reanastomosis by tubal type vs tubal surgery or in vitro fertilization (IVF) for 3 separate age groups of women: <35 years of age, 35 to 40 years of age and >40 years of age. Tubal techniques was divided into type A, those with more favorable prognosis because of the likelihood of having a more significant length tube at time of reanastomosis and type B, those with a worse prognosis of success. We incorporated delivery costs to address the impact of high order multiples in IVF. Data were extracted by studies available in the literature. All costs were adjusted
