A model-based cost-utility analysis of multi-professional simulation training in obstetric emergencies.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the cost-utility of a multi-professional simulation training programme for obstetric emergencies-Practical Obstetric Multi-Professional Training (PROMPT)-with a particular focus on its impact on permanent obstetric brachial plexus injuries (OBPIs).

Design

A model-based cost-utility analysis.

Setting

Maternity units in England.

Population

Simulated cohorts of individuals affected by permanent OBPIs.

Methods

A decision tree model was developed to estimate the cost-utility of adopting annual, PROMPT training (scenario 1a) or standalone shoulder dystocia training (scenario 1b) in all maternity units in England compared to current practice, where only a proportion of English units use the training programme (scenario 2). The time horizo
