Costs of Care for Neonates with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Treated with Therapeutic Hypothermia and Validation of the Canadian Neonatal Network Costing Algorithm.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the standard treatment for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Validated cost estimates are required to better evaluate the cost-effectiveness of additional interventions during TH. The goal of this study is to identify clinical factors associated with costs of care and validate the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) costing algorithm for neonates with HIE receiving TH.

Study design

Single-center retrospective cohort study among neonates with HIE treated with TH in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit from 2016 to 2018. Actual costs per patient were obtained from the hospital cost accounting system, Coût par Parcours de Soinset de Services, and linked to patient data. Estimated costs per patient were calculated using
