“…The move from inpatient to outpatient delivery of health care is not confined to gynecology, but has been seen across all medical specialities [13]. This development has arisen because the outpatient setting is both convenient and considered to be cost effective [3].…”

“…In the last few decades, the concept of inpatient care of patients for several minor interventions has shifted towards outpatient delivery of health care, across all medical specialties [13]. The outpatient setting, for the majority of minor interventions, brought several advantages for both patients and the health-care providers by means of the comfortable setting and the reduction in the medical costs [14].…”

Introduction: Use of multimedia tools has been shown to improve patient comprehension, reduce pre-procedural anxiety, and increase patient satisfaction in various surgical settings. Aim: To investigate the impact of video-based multimedia information (MMI) on the anxiety levels of patients undergoing office hysteroscopy (OH). Material and methods: All consecutive women aged 18-65 years and scheduled for diagnostic OH were enrolled in this prospective randomized study. Subjects were assigned to receive video-based MMI or conventional written information (controls). The trait and state anxiety were assessed using the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before the MMI or written information. STAI-state (STAI-S) was repeated after application of the MMI or written information. All patients underwent a standardized transvaginal hysteroscopy procedure by the same gynecologist. Following the hysteroscopy, patient satisfaction and procedural pain were ranked using a Likert scale and visual analogue scale. Results: Fifty-two patients were randomized to receive a video-based MMI, and 52 patients were randomized to receive written information. Post-information STAI-S score was significantly lower in the MMI group than that of the written information group (45.0 ±8.0 vs. 49.4 ±8.4, p < 0.001, 95% CI for the difference: 1.36-7.79). Moreover, the satisfaction rate of the video group was significantly higher than the satisfaction rate of the controls (92.3% vs. 63.5%, p < 0.001). VAS score of procedural pain was similar for the two groups. Conclusions: A video-based MMI before OH might be preferred to conventional information methods in order to reduce the pre-procedural anxiety and to increase patients' satisfaction.

“…In patients who have proliferative vitreoretinopathy there is a doubling of the cost of retinal detachment surgery 11. The additional costs incurred by inpatient treatment for endophthalmitis compared to outpatient treatment are significant,10 12 although inpatient treatment is not part of the management protocol for PCT.…”
