Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on children who have surgery to remove spine tumors and whether they also need a second surgery to fix their spine afterwards.
- It explains that many kids experience problems after surgery, and that there isn’t much information on doing both the tumor removal and spine fixing at the same time.
- The researchers gathered results from several studies and found nine kids who had both surgeries together, mostly because they had major issues with their spine before the operation.
Objective: Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is a method used in cost accounting that has gained traction in health economics to identify value optimization initiatives. It measures time, assigns value to time increments spent on a patient, and integrates the cost of material and human resources utilized in each episode of care. In this study, the authors report the first use of TDABC to evaluate costs in a pediatric neurosurgical practice.
