Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is most cost-effective for mild to moderate chronic sinusitis. The cost-utility ratio varies by severity, with pansinusitis showing a higher ratio due to increased costs and limited gains.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Health Economics
  • Medical Decision Making

Background:

  • Chronic sinusitis significantly impacts quality of life and healthcare costs.
  • Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is a common treatment, but its cost-effectiveness across different disease severities requires detailed analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for chronic sinusitis.
  • To compare the cost-utility ratios across various chronic sinusitis severity groups.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 192 chronic sinusitis patients undergoing ESS was assessed using the Chronic Sinusitis Survey (CSS) pre- and post-surgery.
  • Direct healthcare costs in the first postoperative year were collected.
  • Utility gain was calculated as the change in CSS score, and cost-utility ratio as cost per utility gain.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Patients were stratified by disease severity using the Harvard Staging System.

    • Main Results:

    • The average total direct cost for ESS in the first postoperative year was 40,829 NT dollars.
    • The overall average cost-utility ratio was 2194.42 NT dollars.
    • Pansinusitis cases exhibited a higher cost-utility ratio (3246.45 NT dollars) attributed to greater costs and smaller utility gains.

    Conclusions:

    • Treating mild and moderate chronic sinusitis with ESS is most cost-effective due to favorable utility gains and reasonable costs.
    • No direct linear correlation exists between chronic sinusitis disease severity and the cost-utility ratio of ESS.
