A Study of the Cost for Patients Operated for Adhesive Obstruction (SBO) During a Five-year Period
- Conditions
- Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction
- Registration Number
- NCT03602352
- Lead Sponsor
- Uppsala University
- Brief Summary
A cohort study of the cost for patients operated for adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) during a five-year period
- Detailed Description
It is a population-based cohort study of the costs for patients operated for adhesive small bowel obstruction during a five-year period (2007-2012) in two Swedish neighboring regions. Patients were identified by a broad search of operation and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes. Data regarding surgery and complications has been analyzed in a previous study (Clinical trials no NCT0353459)
The costs for hospital stay, radiology, Intensive Care Unit (ICU)-care, operation for the index SBO care event were calculated. The cost for revisit, sick leave and recurrent SBO during follow-up were calculated. Patients were followed to 31st January 2017, last medical note or death.
