Area of Science:

  • Medical Economics
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Interventional radiology procedures are increasingly common, necessitating accurate cost analysis.
  • Understanding cost drivers is crucial for resource allocation and financial management in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the operational costs of an interventional radiology unit.
  • To identify specific cost factors associated with catheter-based angiographies and interventional procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Activity Based Cost (ABC) analysis was employed to dissect costs.
  • Data from 2968 procedures in 1999 at Tampere University Hospital were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Material costs constituted the largest portion (67%) of the unit's budget.

  • Aortic aneurysm endografting (5291 Euro) and cerebral aneurysm embolization (4472 Euro) were the most expensive procedures.
  • High-cost materials, particularly for advanced endovascular treatments, significantly impacted overall expenses.

    • Conclusions:

    • Material costs are the primary driver of expenses in interventional radiology.
    • Activity Based Cost analysis is a suitable method for evaluating costs in this medical field.
