ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the cost of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) compared to ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) in the treatment of hydrocephalus in children. Method: We studied 103 children with hydrocephalus, 52 of which were treated with ETV and 51 with VPS in a prospective cohort. Treatment costs were compared within the first year after surgery, including subsequent surgery or hospitalization. Results: Twenty (38.4%) of the 52 children treated with VPS needed another procedure due to shunt failure, compared to 11 (21.5%) of 51 children in the ETV group. The average costs per patient in the group treated with ETV was USD$ 2,177,66±517.73 compared to USD$ 2,890.68±2,835.02 for the VPS group. Conclusions: In this series there was no significant difference in costs between the ETV and VPS groups. .


Objetivo: Avaliar os custos da terceiro ventriculostomia endoscópica (TVE) comparada à derivação ventrículo peritoneal (DVP) no tratamento da hidrocefalia em crianças. Método: Foram estudadas 103 crianças com hidrocefalia, 52 das quais tratadas com TVE e 51 com DVP numa coorte prospectiva. Foram comparados os custos do tratamento no primeiro ano após a cirurgia, incluindo cirurgias ou internações subsequentes. Resultados: Vinte (38,4%) das 52 crianças tratadas com DVP necessitaram de outro procedimento por disfunção da válvula, em comparação a 11 (21,5%) das 51 crianças do grupo tratado com TVE. Os custos médios por paciente no grupo tratado com TVE foram de USD$ 2,177.66±517.73 comparados a USD$ 2.890,68±2.835,02 para o grupo DVP. Conclusões: Nesta série não houve diferença significativa de custos entre o grupo TVE e DVP. .
