Abstract:A597economic, and epidemiologic outcomes in NSI were included. Subsequently, a decision tree was developed to estimate and compare the yearly costs incurred while using safety engineered device needle devices (SED) compared to non-SED. For this cost impact analysis, we quantified the annual total direct medical cost per HCW per NSI. Results: The prevalence and frequency of NSI in India ranged from 61 % to 79.5% and 2.3 to 4.5 per HCW per year respectively. Incidence density was 228.57 per 100 person days. 79.5… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
