Enhanced recovery protocols for pediatric colorectal surgery demonstrate cost-effectiveness: an economic analysis to support programmatic development

Abstract

Enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) after pediatric colorectal surgery have been shown to improve patient experience without compromising outcomes. ERPs for this population are also associated with reduced admission costs, but their economic impact in large populations is unclear. We present the first formal cost-effectiveness analysis of a pediatric colorectal surgery ERP from the payer perspective.
