Mean perioperative 30-day total cost (overhead + direct) of OL and RL, including cost breakdown in 2015 U.S. dollars. All hospitals from Q1 2008 through Q4 2012 (A); all hospitals from Q1 2013 through Q3 2015 (B); hospitals with >25 OL or RL from Q1 2008 through Q4 2012 (C); hospitals with >25 OL or RL Q1 2013 through Q3 2015 (D). ANOVA, analysis of variance; OL, open lobectomy; RL, robotic-assisted lobectomy; USD, US dollars. a, P value is calculated based on one-way ANOVA for perioperative 30-day total cost of RL and OL. b, supply cost included anesthesia supplies, antiembolism hose/devices, catheter lab/angio supplies, dialysis supplies, fixators/pieces external, gastrointestinal endoscopy supplies, implant mesh/mesh fixation devices, implants orthopedic hardware, isolation supplies, ostomy supplies, urologic supplies, suction supplies, robotic supplies, respiratory supplies, radiology supplies, pulmonary/endo supplies, rehab supplies, pacemaker/pacing supplies if applicable. Cost cateogory was determined from the standardized charge master code description provided from Premier. c, operating room cost was defined as the cost of time in the operating room includes staffing cost, anesthesia cost, recovery room cost, operating room cost. Cost cateogory was determined from the standardized charge master code description provided by Premier. d, laboratary cost included the laboratory cost, pathology cost, and blood bank cost. Cost cateogory was determined from the standardized charge master code description provided by Premier. e, pharmacy cost was defined as any cost related to an NDC or HCPCS code in Premier. f, room and board cost was defined as cost associated with the use of room and board in the hospital. Cost cateogory was determined from the standardized charge master code description provided by Premier. g, other cost was defined as the rest of total cost during hospitalization other than supply cost, operating room cost, laboratory cost, pharmacy cost, and room and board cost. h, readmission/revisit cost was defined as total costs after discharge to 30 days for RL and OL patients in the same hospital where their lobectomies were performed. OL, open lobectomy; RL, robotic-assisted lobectomy.
