Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the costs and consequences of a new midwife-navigator-facilitated care pathway for reduced fetal movements.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted at a tertiary obstetric centre in Queensland, Australia and modelling occurred for this and smaller services. Two months of data from pre (n = 112 in 2019) and post (n = 141 in 2020) implementation of the care pathway were analysed with T-tests and logistic regression models to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes. A Markov model was built to estimate the costs and consequences of the intervention. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to test various scenarios including modelling for smaller centres.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences in clinical outcome between the intervention and usual care groups. Intervention patients spent one hour and eight minutes less time in hospital (P < 0.001). This resulted in a saving to the centre of AU$135 per patient (AU$159 083 annually). One-way sensitivity analysis suggested that cost savings would be found in all scenarios except for smaller units providing services for less than 1900 births per annum.

Conclusion(s): To our knowledge, no other care pathway involving acute obstetric care has been economically evaluated to date. Our model based on real-world presentations for reduced fetal movements confirms that midwife-navigators may be an economically beneficial implementation strategy for dealing with common obstetric conditions.

胎动减少的护理路径:成本-后果分析。
研究目的本研究旨在评估由助产士引导的新护理路径在胎动减少方面的成本和后果:本研究在澳大利亚昆士兰州的一家三级产科中心进行,并对该中心和较小的服务机构进行了建模。通过T检验和逻辑回归模型分析了护理路径实施前(2019年,n=112)和实施后(2020年,n=141)两个月的数据,以评估孕产妇和新生儿的结局。建立了马尔可夫模型来估算干预的成本和后果。进行了敏感性分析,以测试各种情况,包括为较小的中心建立模型:干预组和常规护理组的临床结果在统计学上没有明显差异。干预组患者的住院时间减少了1小时8分钟(P 结论:就我们所知,目前还没有其他护理路径能做到这一点:据我们所知,迄今为止还没有其他涉及急性产科护理的护理路径接受过经济评估。我们根据现实世界中胎动减少的病例建立的模型证实,助产士导航员可能是一种经济上有益的产科常见病治疗实施策略。

期刊介绍: The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ANZJOG) is an editorially independent publication owned by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) and the RANZCOG Research foundation. ANZJOG aims to provide a medium for the publication of original contributions to clinical practice and/or research in all fields of obstetrics and gynaecology and related disciplines. Articles are peer reviewed by clinicians or researchers expert in the field of the submitted work. From time to time the journal will also publish printed abstracts from the RANZCOG Annual Scientific Meeting and meetings of relevant special interest groups, where the accepted abstracts have undergone the journals peer review acceptance process.
