ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the cost-effectiveness of medical and surgical management of early pregnancy loss.

Setting

Analysis of data from a multicenter trial.

Patient(s)

Secondary analysis of a multicenter trial.

Intervention(s)

Cost-effectiveness analysis.

Main outcome measure(s)

Cost and effectiveness of competing treatment strategies.

Result(s)

Cost analysis of treatment demonstrates an increased cost of US$336 for 13% increased efficacy of surgical management. This analysis was sensitive to the probability of an extra offic
