From: The addition of S100B to guidelines for management of mild head injury is potentially cost saving
S100 = 21 € | CT = 130 € | Hospitalization = 366 € | Tot | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ACTUAL COST in follow-up (cost per patient) | 726 × 21 € = 15 246 € | 398 × 130 € = 51 740 € | 297 × 366 € = 108 702 € | 175 688 € (242 €) | |
POTENTIAL COST given different assumptions | S100B not in guidelines and assuming same use of CT and hospitalization as for cohort | 0,7 x 726 x 130 € = 66 066 € | 0,52 x 726 x 366 € = 138 172 € | 204 238 € (281€) | |
Strict compliance based on guidelines for S100 + CT only | 726 × 21 € = 15 246 € | CT (S100B+) 497 × 130€ = 64 610 € | 79 856 € (110 €) |
