Naoum P, Palioura S, Naoum V, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for estimating the net cost effect associated with the real-world practice of repeated use of designated single-use medical devices (SUDs) vs their proper single use in cataract surgery in Greece. A decision tree was used to build a cost-benefit analysis model. Repeated use of SUDs in cataract surgery is not recommended; it endangers patient safety and exposes the reuser to legal liability. The current research, which is the first to put a monetary value on the widespread yet controversial practice of SUD reuse, demonstrates that it is not cost-effective. As a result, the findings are likely to have consequences for policy formulations aimed at improving cataract healthcare delivery.
