Abstract
In BriefThe authors analyzed the costs associated with the three different procedures used to treat hydrocephalus in the pediatric population. They believe this study highlights the importance of patient-specific treatment decisions that are based on etiology and previous intervention. The patient-specific medical characteristics are a driving force in the cost of care.Entities:
