ECONOMIC INDICATORS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF THE FEMORAL-POPLITEAL SEGMENT IN PATIENTS FOR CRITICAL LIMB ISHEMIA

Abstract

Introduction: is to analyze the economic indicators of different types of surgical treatment of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia. Materials and methods. were analyzed 173 cases of atherosclerosis of the femoral-popliteal segment of the lower extremity in patients for сritacal limb ishemia, of which 93 underwent arterial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and 80 bypass surgery of the affected vessels. For this an original model of determining the value of medical care was used. It included the determination of costs that was given as a payment for medical workers, material and technical costs, the surgical interventions costs, the drugs that were used, additional examinations, and etc. Results. Economic analysis of costs per average patient that underwent PTA was UAH 5025.85, and bypass surgery UAH 4351.1. However,analyzing the results of treatment showed that there are small differences between the two methods, in particular a larger number of patients with diabetes. Conclusions. Both methods of treatment gave almost the same result in terms of the cost of treatment, which requires consideration of other factors, especially the clinical course of the disease.
