A single center comparison of cost analyses of different volume reduction therapy methods in the treatment of emphysema

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare preoperative and postoperative one year-cost analyses of endobronchial valve and enbronchial coil practices and volume-reduction surgical methods applied for the purpose of reducing volume in the patients with emphysema. 

Material and Methods: All the data regarding the one-year-preoperative and postoperative hospital costs of the patients in our hospital, 11 of whom received an endobronchial valve, 9 of whom received an endobronchial coil and 7 of whom underwent a volume reduction-surgery due to emphysema, were obtained along with the data of the respiratory function test and  6-minute walking test results by accessing into the database of our hospital. 

Results: The entire research group consisted of 27 patients. Following valve and coil and the volume reduction-surgical intervention, there had been an increase in SFT FEV1% values of the patients with emphysema by 54.0%, 44.4% and 24.6%, respectively, whereas another increase was observed in their six-minute walking distances values by 85.7%, 78.7% and 34.1%, respectively. When the costs of the interventions on emphysema were analyzed, valve ($12943.6) and coil ($11328.9) practices were seen to be almost 5 times more costly than the Volume-reduction surgical treatment ($2444.3). 

Conclusions: The most economical method in terms of transaction costs is the volume-reduction surgery.
