Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
Cost-Effectiveness of a Shock Team Approach in Refractory Cardiogenic Shock
Authors' conclusion
The Shock Team approach for treating refractory cardiogenic shock may be a cost-effective alternative to traditional standard of care.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with refractory cardiogenic shock at a tertiary academic hospital, 2009–2018
- Participants
- 244 patients
- Comparison
- Shock Team vs standard of care
- Shock Teamn = 123
- Standard of caren = 121reference
- Outcome
- Costs and outcomes (survival at discharge, 1-year survival, QALYs gained); incremental cost-effectiveness ratios
- Follow-up
- 1-year time horizon
