Costs of day surgery in Austria: An analysis of data and methods for varicose vein surgery as an example

The report contains an analysis of data and methods to calculate the costs of day surgery and inpatient treatment in Austria. Thus, varicose vein surgery was chosen as an example to proof several data sources for their applicability. Beside the calculation by using Austrian meta data and international costs from the UK, we used costs from individual hospitals. The calculated costs differed between 859 and 4,664 Euros for day surgery and 1,720-2,330 Euros for an inpatient treatment.

Horizon Scanning in Oncology – Prioritisation of new and emerging oncologic drugs

Within the project Horizon Scanning in Oncology 9 databases are frequently scanned to identify new/emerging oncologic drugs. Every 3 months, these drugs are filtered according to predefined criteria (i.e. in most instances availability of phase III study results) and are then prioritised by an expert panel to identify those therapies for which either a substantial clinical or financial impact can be expected.
