The cost-effectiveness of early resuscitation of sepsis in Australia - an economic evaluation alongside the ARISE-RCT [ 2009 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Ms Alisa Higgins (Principal investigator)

Brief description Critical care treatment is expensive and consumes a significant portion of hospital resources. This study will collect cost, survival and quality of life data on a group of sepsis patients enrolled in a trial of strict protocolised treatment versus standard care (the ARISE study). This information will be used to determine how much it costs for each additional survivor with protocolised treatment, and how much it costs for each quality adjusted life year gained with protocolised treatment.
