Cost-effectiveness of Recurrent Dupuytren Contracture Treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Owing to its tendency to recur, Dupuytren contracture often requires multiple treatments, which places additional economic burden on health care. The likelihood of contracture recurrence varies not only with treatment but also with disease characteristics, such as contracture severity and location, but prior cost-effectiveness analyses of Dupuytren contracture treatments have not considered these patient-specific disease characteristics.

Objective

To identify the most cost-effective treatment regimen for patients with recurrent Dupuytren contracture.

Design, setting, and participants

This economic evaluation was conducted with state-transition microsimulation modeling using data from published studies and Medicare. A simulated cohort of 10 000 individuals w
