A control group consisted within same all-patient refined-diagnosis related without bacteremia. Our hospital...
Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC) causes more deaths than any other among women in Catalonia. Early detection has contributed to the observed decline BC mortality. However, there is debate on optimal screening strategy. We performed an economic evaluation of 20 strategies taking into account cost over time and subsequent medical costs, including diagnostic confirmation, initial treatment, follow-up advanced care. Methods used a probabilistic model estimate effect costs each scenario....
SUMMARY This study contributes to the literature on performance of diagnosis‐related groups (DRGs) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients by evaluating in nine countries factors—in addition DRGs—that affect costs or length stay and comparing variation that can be explained with without DRGs. We evaluate whether existing DRGs AMI would benefit from additional patient‐related treatment‐related factors are found administrative data across countries. In most countries, set patient...
