Abstract

Background: Healthcare expenditure is increasing at a rate that surpasses the growth of the gross domestic product in most Western nations, emphasizing the need for precise hospital accounting practices. In resource-constrained environments, accurately estimating the costs of hospital services, such as robotic ventral hernia repair, is essential for achieving efficiency and transparency. Despite the existence of several studies reporting on the cost of robotic ventral hernia repair, there is a lack of systematic mapping of current knowledge on the methodological designs used in studies reporting on the costs and resource use. Methods: This study protocol outlines the methodology for a scoping review aimed at systematically mapping the existing literature on costing methodologies in robotic ventral hernia repair. The scoping review will follow the framework outlined by Arksey and O'Malley and adhere to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic search will be conducted in Embase, Medline and Cochrane Library. Studies will be included if they involve patients undergoing robotic ventral hernia repair and report on cost/costing methodologies. The review will extract data on study characteristics, intervention specifics, and detailed costing methodologies. Two independent reviewers will conduct the data extraction, with discrepancies resolved through discussion or by a third reviewer. Discussion: The review will identify significant variations in costing methodologies, including differences in perspectives (hospital vs. societal), time horizons, and cost components. It aims to highlight gaps and inconsistencies in the current literature, providing a foundation for future research to standardize costing methodologies and improve the accuracy of economic evaluations in robotic surgery. By systematically mapping the existing literature, this scoping review will provide valuable insights into the current state of costing methodologies in robotic ventral hernia repair. It will serve as a foundational reference for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare providers, offering recommendations to enhance the economic evaluation of robotic surgical technologies.
研究协议:机器人腹股沟疝气修复术成本计算方法的范围界定综述
背景:在大多数西方国家,医疗保健支出的增长速度超过了国内生产总值的增长速度,这就强调了精确医院会计实践的必要性。在资源有限的环境中,准确估算机器人腹股沟疝修补术等医院服务的成本对于提高效率和透明度至关重要。尽管已有多项研究报告了机器人腹股沟疝修补术的成本,但目前还缺乏对报告成本和资源使用情况的研究中所使用的方法设计的系统了解:本研究方案概述了范围界定审查的方法,旨在系统地梳理有关机器人腹股沟疝修补术成本计算方法的现有文献。范围界定综述将遵循 Arksey 和 O'Malley 概述的框架,并遵守 PRISMA-ScR 指南。将在 Embase、Medline 和 Cochrane 图书馆进行系统检索。如果研究涉及接受机器人腹股沟疝修补术的患者,并报告了成本/费用计算方法,则将纳入该研究。综述将提取有关研究特点、干预细节和详细成本计算方法的数据。两名独立评审员将进行数据提取,不一致之处将通过讨论或由第三名评审员解决:讨论:审查将发现成本计算方法的重大差异,包括视角(医院与社会)、时间跨度和成本构成的不同。综述旨在强调现有文献中存在的差距和不一致之处,为未来研究提供基础,以规范成本计算方法,提高机器人手术经济评估的准确性。通过系统地梳理现有文献,本范围界定综述将为了解机器人腹股沟疝修补术成本计算方法的现状提供有价值的见解。它将为研究人员、政策制定者和医疗服务提供者提供基础参考,为加强机器人手术技术的经济评估提供建议。
