Cost-Benefit Analysis for Direct Visual Observation of Nasogastric Enteral Feeding Tube Placement

Abstract

A 3 4 7 -A 7 6 6 A693 expressed in year 2015 euros. Results: We observed a wide variety of practices, techniques, sample size and indications. Cost drivers were personal, consumables and equipment. In the 10 constitutional genetic laboratories, mean total cost was estimated at 470€ (SD: 122€ ) per patient. In the 8 somatic genetic laboratories, it was estimated at 564€ (SD: 241€ ). The enrichment stage cost represented 50% of the total cost per patient and was the costliest stage of the sequencing process both in constitutional and somatic genetics. If the cost of the enrichment and sequencing stages were driven by consumables respectively for 85% and 67% of total cost, the technical and biological validation stages were mostly made of staff costs at respectively 55% and 100%. ConClusions: In constitutional genetics, the NGS cost per patient remains fairly homogenous and reflects the stabilization of the sequencing practices. While in somatic genetics, this cost varies widely due probably to an on-going learning curve.

Identifying a list of healthcare ‘never events’ to effect system change: a systematic review and narrative synthesis

“…We excluded another 337 articles after reviewing the full-text citations largely because they neither identified individual NEs nor specified an existing framework (47%), or because they were non-scholarly (eg, media releases; 30%). Thus, our analyses were based on 367 articles 3 4 7–11 18–377. A full list of these articles and the information we extracted from them are found in online supplemental tables 1 and 2.…”
