Underfunding of German university-based high-performance medicine exemplified by the treatment of varices in cirrhosis

This study examines whether university-based high-performance medicine is efficient and cost-covering within the framework of the G-DRG system. We demonstrate a dramatic underfunding of the management of varicose veins in cirrhosis in our university center. It is therefore generally questionable whether and to what extent an adequate care for this patient collective is reflected in the G-DRG system.PMID:38616470 | DOI:10.1016/j.zefq.2024.03.003
