Health Economic Analysis of Two-Layer Bandage System for Treatment of Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Peter J. Mallow
Abstract:Background: Compression therapy is the gold standard for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Two-layer bandage (2LB) systems have been shown to be a safe and effective treatment option. Objective: To estimate the total cost per response (CPR) for the resolution of edema and wounds in patients with CVI treated with a 2LB system as part of their overall wound healing regimen. Methods: A probabilistic decision tree model was developed to estimate the incremental CPR for a 2LB system. The model si… Show more
