A comparison of acellular dermal matrix to autologous dermal flaps in single-stage, implant-based immediate breast reconstruction: a cost-effectiveness analysis
Naveen M. Krishnan,Abhishek Chatterjee,Michael Van Vliet,Stephen G. Powell,Joseph M. Rosen,John F. Nigriny +5 more
TL;DR: Acellular dermal matrix is not a cost-effective technology in patients who can have an autologous dermal flap in single-stage immediate breast reconstruction in women with larger, ptotic breasts.

Comparing Five Alternative Methods of Breast Reconstruction Surgery: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
TL;DR: Autologous pedicled tissue was slightly more cost-effective than free tissue reconstruction in irradiated and nonirradiated patients, in agreement with the growing trend at academic institutions to encourage autologous tissue reconstruction because of its natural recreation of the breast contour, suppleness, and resiliency in the setting of irradiated recipient beds.

Cost-effectiveness comparison between topical silver sulfadiazine and enclosed silver dressing for partial-thickness burn treatment.
TL;DR: By varying complication rates for SSD and enclosed silver dressings, the two-way sensitivity analysis demonstrated the cost effectiveness of using enclosed silver dressing at the majority of complications rates for both treatment modalities.

The Optimal Treatment for Partial Thickness Burns: A Cost-Utility Analysis of Skin Allograft vs. Topical Silver Dressings.
Clifford C. Sheckter,Nickolas L Meyerkord,Yunna L Sinskey,Pariss Clark,Katarina Anderson,Michael Van Vliet +5 more
TL;DR: Skin allograft showed greater QALYs compared with topical silver dressings at a higher cost and may be a considered a cost-effective treatment of partial-thickness burns depending on willingness-to-pay thresholds.

Donor-site preferences in women during autologous skin grafting.
TL;DR: There was a preference for posterior donor sites, with lower back, left buttock, and left posterior thigh being the most preferred sites among women with burns, given these strong preferences among female patients.
