January 30, 2017 updated by: Vidya Raman

Cost Savings From Non-pharmacological Interventions for Pediatric Patients Undergoing Diagnostic Imaging at Nationwide Children's Hospital

The purpose of this study is to interrogate the Partners for Kids (PFK) and the pediatric health information (PHIS) databases in addition to our own perioperative Nationwide Children's data base to look at outcomes, resource utilization, and cost trends for adenotonsillectomy in the nationally versus locally. The investigators also want compare Nationwide Children's to other regional and national tertiary pediatric institutions.
