Characterization of combined endoscopies and aerodigestive care: An analysis of utilization and financial feasibility
ConclusionsNational utilization trends highlight racial and socioeconomic disparities and suggest differences in access based on hospital characteristics, despite the reduced cost/charges of the combined procedure. For patients with a need for combined aerodigestive procedures, there appears to be a cost-savings opportunity to increase efforts for combined procedures at the level of the clinician or hospital.
