Objective: This paper evaluates the accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP), leukocyte count, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for diagnosing tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) and assessing the cost-effectiveness of different treatment regimens for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), with and without TOA.
Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted between January 1, 2003, and December 30, 2021, including women aged 13-80 years diagnosed with PID. The analysis focused on the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of different treatment regimens.
