Table 4.

Attributable Total Costs of Surgical Site Infection and Endometritis After Low Transverse Cesarean Section Calculated by Two Different Methods

	Adjusted Cost in US $2008 (95% CI)
Method	Surgical Site Infection	Endometritis
GLS	$3,529 ($3,105 – $4,011)^a	$3,956 ($3,481 – $4,496)^a
Matched-pairs	$2,852 ($2,006 – $4,378)^b	$3,842 ($3,254 – $5,111)^b

Note. CI, confidence interval.

Estimates adjusted for covariates in Table 3.

Costs are the medians and 95% confidence intervals based on the binomial distribution. The medians were used for the matched-pairs analyses since the cost differences were not normally distributed.
