A retrospective observational cohort study was performed to review the cost of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy in a UK neonatal intensive care setting over a 4-year period. 188 neonates with a median (IQR) gestational age and birth weight of 27 (24-37) weeks and 980 (695-2812) g, respectively, were treated with iNO. The median (IQR) duration of iNO therapy was 60 (22-129) hours. The mean cost of iNO therapy was approximately £820 per baby treated equivalent to £8.50 per hour of therapy. Alternative pricing models suggested a calculated cost of iNO therapy of between approximately £950 and £1350 per baby.
开展了一项回顾性观察队列研究,以评估英国新生儿重症监护环境下4年期间吸入一氧化氮(iNO)治疗的成本。188例新生儿接受了iNO治疗,其胎龄中位数(四分位间距)和出生体重分别为27(24 - 37)周和980(695 - 2812)克。iNO治疗的中位数(四分位间距)持续时间为60(22 - 129)小时。iNO治疗的平均成本约为每位接受治疗的婴儿820英镑,相当于每小时治疗费用为8.50英镑。其他定价模型显示,iNO治疗的计算成本约为每位婴儿950至1350英镑。
