Depending on the reason for hospital admission and the length of stay, the mean unit cost per hospital day ranged from 202US$ (day-care radiotherapy) to 656US$ (surgery).
12 The three independent estimates of the cost of a smear test were, respectively, £24.30, £26.80, and £36.90 at 2004 prices, yielding a mean unit cost of £29.30€34.5.5, $48.5 at current conversion rates).
The cost of therapeutic and diagnosis procedures, taken from the 2010 to 2011 National Schedule of Reference Costs, 9 were varied using their IQR: the SE of each mean unit cost was estimated manually so that the 25th and 75th centiles of the γ distribution to most closely fitted the published IQR of the unit cost.
The mean unit costs were $18 US for an ANC visit and $63 US for spontaneous delivery.
Mean unit costs per GP consultation, hospitalization, and A&E attendance for ILI were deduced from standard sources (17, 19 ).
Secondly, re-weighting mean unit costs to include a 20% high dependency component led to a relative reduction in mean costs after 2000 and a higher incremental net monetary benefit.
21 *Sources of unit costs used in the analysis: (a) Mean unit costs of a survey of five participating centres, 2003, updated for inflation,8 (b) mean hospital costs for England and Wales, 2006/07,25 (c) Curtis et al, 2008,26 (d) British National Formulary, 2009 and REFLUX.
Firstly, the effect of taking mean unit costs from all English NHS trusts, rather than just participants from the case mix programme, led to a relative decrease in costs after 2000, lower incremental costs, and a higher incremental net monetary benefit (table 9).
The most common method was to abstract mean patient resource utilization, such as the number of clinic visits, hospitalizations and procedures, through chart reviews or insurance databases, and to combine these data with the mean unit costs of each resource, derived from local or national accounting databases.
The mean per unit cost of repairs was $1,726 (median, $300).
The mean ANC unit cost and 95 % CI were estimated using 1000 iterations of the model.> Among the approximately 8737 pregnant women in Ventanilla District in 2011, ANC was provided to 6796 women.
