A cost-effectiveness study compared visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) with transurethral resection (TURP). Achieving equivalent outcomes, VLAP was more expensive than TURP. The result was sensitive to various assumptions, suggesting that VLAP might prove to be the preferred technology. Problems inherent in economic evaluation of emerging technologies are discussed.
一项成本效益研究对前列腺可视化激光消融术(VLAP)和经尿道前列腺切除术(TURP)进行了比较。在实现等效结果的情况下,VLAP比TURP成本更高。该结果对各种假设敏感,这表明VLAP可能被证明是更优的技术。文中讨论了新兴技术经济评估中固有的问题。
