Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) may be treated clinically or surgically as a therapeutic option with a curative intention. The aim of this study is to compare direct medical costs and overall survival associated with the treatment of LSCC.
Retrospective cost-consequence analysis, from the perspective of a Brazilian public hospital that included patients with LSCC, from 2014 to 2017. Unit costs were estimated using a macro-costing approach. The Propensity Score Matching method was used. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
The therapeutic modalities were similar in terms of total costs: USD 32,259.65 for the clinical group and USD 34,385.87 for the surgical group (p = 0.215). Patients in the surgical group showed better overall survival than the clinical group (HR 0.53; p = 0.047).
Both therapeutic modalities for the treatment of LSCC showed similar total costs. Nevertheless, overall survival was better in the surgical group.
喉鳞状细胞癌(LSCC)在临床上或手术上都可作为一种有治愈意图的治疗选择。本研究的目的是比较LSCC治疗的直接医疗成本和总生存期。
从一家巴西公立医院的角度进行回顾性成本-效果分析,纳入2014年至2017年的LSCC患者。采用宏观成本核算方法估算单位成本。使用倾向得分匹配法。采用Kaplan-Meier法进行生存分析。
治疗方式在总成本方面相似:临床组为32,259.65美元,手术组为34,385.87美元(p = 0.215)。手术组患者的总生存期优于临床组(HR 0.53;p = 0.047)。
LSCC的两种治疗方式显示出相似的总成本。然而,手术组的总生存期更好。
