A Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy

Fundación de investigación HM59 enrolled

Overview

This is a clinical and cost-effectiveness analysis within a retrospective comparative study of RDP and LDP conducted at Sanchinarro University Hospital from 2011 to 2017. Outcome parameters included surgical and post-operative costs, quality adjusted life years (QALY), and incremental cost per QALY gained or the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER). A sensitivity analysis was carried out in order to propagate the uncertainty of the estimations to the results of the model. The investigators use a multivariate and stochastic sensitivity analysis performed by 5000 Monte Carlo simulations. The cost-effectiveness plane was used to represent all pairs of solutions of the model.
