Economic evaluation is important for making decisions about resource allocation. Few cost-utility or cost-effectiveness studies on breast hypertrophy have been reported in the medical literature.
The authors sought to determine the cost-utility of reduction mammaplasty in the Brazilian national health care system.
This randomized controlled study was conducted in a university-affiliated hospital. Sixty patients with breast hypertrophy were enrolled prospectively and were assigned randomly to either the control group (n = 30 patients who received follow-up for 6 months) or the treatment group (n = 30 patients who underwent reduction mammaplasty). Direct costs were recorded, and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was administered to both groups at the beginning of the study (preoperatively for the treatment group) and 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Utility was determined with Instrument 6D of the Brazilian version of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-6D), from the SF-36 data.
At the 6-month follow-up, the treatment group showed an improvement in utility, with an average direct cost of approximately £104.
Reduction mammaplasty performed in the Brazilian national health care system provides a cost-utility ratio equivalent to approximately £142 per 1 quality-adjusted life year.
经济评估对于资源分配决策很重要。医学文献中报道的关于乳房肥大的成本效用或成本效益研究很少。
作者试图确定在巴西国家医疗保健系统中进行缩乳术的成本效用。
这项随机对照研究在一家大学附属医院进行。前瞻性纳入60例乳房肥大患者，并随机分为对照组（n = 30例，接受6个月随访）或治疗组（n = 30例，接受缩乳术）。记录直接成本，并在研究开始时（治疗组术前）以及术后3个月和6个月对两组进行医学结局研究36项简表健康调查（SF - 36）。根据SF - 36数据，使用巴西版简表健康调查（SF - 6D）的6D工具确定效用。
在6个月的随访中，治疗组的效用有所改善，平均直接成本约为104英镑。
在巴西国家医疗保健系统中进行的缩乳术的成本效用比约为每1个质量调整生命年142英镑。
