A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Gonadotropins Used for Ovarian Stimulation during Assisted Reproductive Technology Based on Data from the French Nationwide Claims Database (SNDS).

Objective: Various gonadotropins are used for ovarian stimulation (OS). This study investigated the cost-effectiveness of different gonadotropins based on real-world data from the French National Health Database (SNDS) over a 7-year follow-up of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments.

Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis of different gonadotropins based on real-world data from the SNDS was conducted.

Evaluation of costs associated with fertility treatment leading to a live birth after one fresh transfer: A global perspective.

Considerable costs are associated with infertility treatment, but little evidence is available on the main drivers of treatment costs. This cost analysis investigated key costs for treatment with assisted reproductive technology (ART) and the proportion of costs attributed to the acquisition of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) alfa originator for one fresh embryo transfer (ET) leading to a live birth in Spain, Norway, the UK, Germany, Denmark, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand. The total costs for one ART cycle with a fresh ET leading to a live birth varied between countries (€4108-€12,314).

Pilot Study and Preliminary Results of Biodegradable Intramedullary Nailing of Forearm Fractures in Children.

(1) Background: Diaphyseal forearm fractures are a common injury in children and adolescents. When operative treatment is needed, elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) is the most common surgical procedure. Although there is no clear evidence, hardware removal after fracture healing is performed in many patients.
