Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used in diagnosis; however, the cost effectiveness of this practice is unclear. We hypothesize that MRI scans for idiopathic dysosmia will demonstrate sufficient significant findings to be a cost‐effective screening tool.doi:10.1002/alr.21066...
Perhaps most important, diagnostic technologies do not generally directly affect long-term patient outcomes. Instead, the results of diagnostic tests can influence the care of patients; in that way, diagnostic tests may affect long-term outcomes. Because of this, the benefits associated with the ...
If ES stops seizures at the expense of impaired , it is of limited help in restoring quality of life. In adults, surgery often is performed late, and the social status may have declined for the patient. Children with and their families experience social restrictions difficult to normalize. A...
In addition to these patient related problems, sciatica poses a major economic burden. Although there are no recent specific cost data for sciatica, in 2017, the total healthcare cost of lower back pain in general (including sciatica) in the Netherlands was estimated to be 937 million [7]. ...
a patient with Medicare would pay$1,447without supplemental insurance. Gastrointestinal endoscopy typically is covered by health insurance when considered medically necessary. For example, Aetna[2] considers it medically necessary for diagnosis in a variety of situations, including for evaluation of certai...
The ratio between the cost of a CEA test and that of the other diagnostic examinations usually adopted in the diagnostic workup of a colon cancer patient (X-rays, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, etc) varies from 1 to 16 (Table III). 展开 ...
From a healthcare organization perspective, the cost of lung cancer screening in economic terms can be considered from several perspectives, including the cost of the initial screening for insured and uninsured individuals, the downstream cost incurred f
High technology is frequently blamed as a main cause for the last decade's disproportionate rise in health expenditure. Total costs for all large diagnostic and therapeutic appliances are typically less than 1% of annual expenditure on health care. CT, DSA, MRI, interventional radiology, ESWL, US...
There were approximately 0.062 QALYs gained on average throughout the entire range of specificity values of MRI for the PSA stratum greater than 10 ng/mL, while the cost of the MRI and potential MRI-guided biopsy strategy decreased as the specificity of the MRI increased, resulting in an ICER...
Schematic Diagram of the Microsimulation Model Structure View LargeDownload We assumed a genetic test uptake rate of 0.7. MRI with or without mammography indicates enhanced screening for breast cancer with MRI with or without mammography. Mammography indicates general screening for breast cancer with ...
