Data analysis: The economic analysis will be conducted alongside the trial and will comprise a cost-effectiveness study of the CDC intervention versus usual care.
This evaluation will comprise a cost-consequences analysis where incremental costs of the intervention will be compared with the outcomes included in the study.
The economic evaluation will comprise a cost-consequences analysis whereby the incremental costs of the intervention will be compared with the full spectrum of outcomes included in the study.
The economic analysis will include perspectives of both the health care sector and broader society and comprise a cost-consequences analysis where all outcomes will be compared to costs.
We consider a complex economical objective that accounts for the total operational costs comprising a cost of consumed diluant, costs related to duration of processing, and a cost of product loss.
The economic component of the study comprises a cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis.
Hence, each claim cost comprises a fixed cost (theta_{0}) and a proportional part with coefficient (theta_{1}).
ED costs comprise a very small fraction of total costs within each ACG.Figure 1C displays the average cost per category (weight = 12.6) was $17,271.
They comprise a variety of costs which include: monitoring, planning, verification, certification, enforcement, administration, insurance, brokerage and governance.
As hospitalization costs comprise a large part of the total costs it is to be expected that the LOS related variables are significant when fitting these variables to the total healthcare cost per patient.
