Given that hardware and consumable costs are among the principal cost drivers, another result would have been surprising.
Diagnostic and administration costs did not differ significantly among regimens; the principal cost drivers were toxicity and administration costs.
Fortunately, in recent years New York State's juvenile justice system has dramatically reduced its use of confinement, its principal cost-driver.
For higher cost classes, the main cost driver seems to be non-laboratory tests/examinations.
However, the main cost driver is the cost per milligram of (biologic) treatment.
The main cost driver in adults is indirect cost because of work days lost.
At all pain severity levels, indirect costs were the primary cost driver.
The main cost drivers were the anticancer drug costs and hospitalization costs.
The main cost drivers of the household costs were transportation (78%) and food (12%).
The main cost drivers were consumables (42%), clinical support services (19%) and staff cost (18%).
This may introduce some variability in identifying the main cost drivers of the cost of FN.
