Ecoestresse bem realizado reduz custos no Reino Unido

As shown in Fig. 1B, an increase in stress echocardiogram accuracy by 1 percentage point could save on average £57.30 downstream hospital costs in 12 months following a stress echocardiogram. 

Conclusion

This study provides real-world evidence of downstream costs associated with stress echocardiography practice in the UK and estimates how improvements in accuracy could impact healthcare expenditure in the NHS. A real-world downstream costing approach could be adopted more widely in evaluation of imaging tests and interventions to reflect actual value for money and support realistic planning.

Este estudo fornece evidências reais dos custos posteriores associados à prática da ecocardiografia de estresse no Reino Unido e estima como as melhorias na precisão poderiam impactar os gastos com saúde no NHS. Uma abordagem real de custeio a jusante poderia ser adotada de forma mais ampla na avaliação de exames e intervenções de imagem para refletir o valor real do dinheiro e apoiar um planejamento realista.
