背景柬埔寨马德望的急诊医院本质上是一个为受伤者提供手术服务的中心。方法使用前面描述的方法,计算手术费用,对957例患者在3个月内接受895例外科手术的治疗效果进行了评估结果成本效益分析的结果与文献中现有的少数几个结果进行了比较。结论在避免77.4美元/DALY的情况下,在这种情况下,对创伤进行手术被认为是非常具有成本效益的,并且与其他非手术公共卫生干预相比是有利的。
Background The Emergency Hospital in Battambang, Cambodia, is essentially a surgical center for victims of injuries.Methods Using methods previously described, operating costs were calculated, and effectiveness of treatment was estimated for 957 patients undergoing 895 surgical procedures over a 3 month period (October-December 2006).Results Results of the cost-effectiveness analysis are compared to the few existing ones in the literature.Conclusion At $77.4 per DALY averted, surgery for trauma in such a context is deemed very cost-effective and compares favorably to other non-surgical public health interventions.
