Dataset Information

Estimating the economic impacts of percutaneous coronary intervention in Australia: a registry-based cost burden study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In this study, we sought to evaluate the costs of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) across a variety of indications in Victoria, Australia, using a direct per-person approach, as well as to identify key cost drivers.

Design

A cost-burden study of PCI in Victoria was conducted from the Australian healthcare system perspective.

Setting

A linked dataset of patients admitted to public hospitals for PCI in Victoria was drawn from the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes Registry (VCOR) and the Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset. Generalised linear regression modelling was used to evaluate key cost drivers. From 2014 to 2017, 20 345 consecutive PCIs undertaken in Victorian public hospitals were captured in VCOR.
