Puk18 Retrospective Assessment of Healthcare Resource Use and Costs in Patients With Stress/Mixed Urinary Incontinence

Abstract

there were not any statistically significant results in terms of costs and utilities, this preliminary analysis was suggestive of potential savings and dominance of HDx via reduced dosing of drugs and reduced hospital days and should motivate future work with larger samples and better controls. PUK16 THE COST EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF HIGH-FLUX DIALYSIS (HFHD) VERSUS CONVENTIONAL DIALYSIS (LFHD)

Retrospective claims analysis of physical therapy utilization among women with stress or mixed urinary incontinence

“…There was variance in the distribution of PT visits, with 30% of women completing less than three PT visits and 21% completing over eight visits. The limited PT utilization is consistent with the broad deficit in utilization of conservative care identified in the primary analysis of this cohort, in which 4% of women participated in conservative care (defined as claims for continence pessary, vaginal inserts, pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bladder training) before medications or surgery 25 …”

“…Of 103,813 women with an incident diagnosis of SUI or MUI, 2.6% (2792/103,813) had at least one PT visit in the 2 years following their diagnosis (PT cohort). Primary results pertaining to evaluation and interventions among women with incident SUI or MUI are presented elsewhere 25 …”

“…Primary results pertaining to evaluation and interventions among women with incident SUI or MUI are presented elsewhere. 25 The demographic characteristics of the PT cohort are presented in Table 1. The mean (standard deviation) age at index PT encounter was 50.55 years (12.91).…”

“…The limited PT utilization is consistent with the broad deficit in utilization of conservative care identified in the primary analysis of this cohort, in which 4% of women participated in conservative care (defined as claims for continence pessary, vaginal inserts, pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bladder training) before medications or surgery. 25 Data in the United States collected over 10 years found most ambulatory care visits for PFDs were established patients. The authors indicate it likely reflects the chronicity of the disorders.…”
