Pediatrics

September 2017

Perinatal Epidemiology and Health Outcomes Research Unit, Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Stanford University and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Palo Alto, California.

Methods: Prospective observational analysis of 18 616 very low birth weight infants in 134 California NICUs between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2014.

Cost-minimization Analysis of the Management of Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

June 2017

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Dr. Truntzer, Mr. Triana, Dr. Chou, and Dr. Kamal), the Department of Surgery (Dr. Harris), and the Department of Health Research and Policy (Dr. Baker), Stanford University School of Medicine, Redwood City, CA, and the Center for Innovation to Implementation, Palo Alto Health Care System, US Department of Veterans Affairs, Palo Alto, CA (Dr. Harris).

Background: Outcomes of nonsurgical management of acute Achilles tendon rupture have been demonstrated to be noninferior to those of surgical management. We performed a cost-minimization analysis of surgical and nonsurgical management of acute Achilles tendon rupture.

Methods: We used a claims database to identify patients who underwent surgical (n = 1,979) and nonsurgical (n = 3,065) management of acute Achilles tendon rupture and compared overall costs of treatment (surgical procedure, follow-up care, physical therapy, and management of complications).
