Results from the EASY trial showed that early closure of a temporary ileostomy was associated with significantly fewer postoperative complications but no difference in health-related quality of life up to 12\u00a0months after rectal resection. The aim of the present study was to perform a cost analysis within the framework of the EASY trial.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Early closure (8\u201313\u00a0days) of a temporary stoma was compared to late closure (&gt;\u200912\u00a0weeks) in the randomized controlled trial EASY (NCT01287637). The study period and follow-up was 12\u00a0months after rectal resection. Inclusion of participants was made after index surgery. Exclusion criteria were diabetes mellitus, steroid treatment, signs of postoperative complications or anastomotic leakage. Clinical effectiveness and resource use were derived from the trial and unit costs from Swedish sources. Costs were calculated for the year 2016 and analysed from the perspective of the healthcare sector.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Fifty-five patients underwent early closure, and 57 late closure in eight Swedish and Danish hospitals between 2011 and 2014. The difference in mean cost per patient was 4060 US dollar (95% confidence interval 1121; 6999, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) in favour of early closure. A sensitivity analysis, taking protocol-driven examinations into account, resulted in an overall difference in mean cost per patient of $3608, in favour of early closure (95% confidence interval 668; 6549, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.02). The predominant cost factors were reoperations, readmissions and endoscopic examinations.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The significant cost reduction in this study, together with results of safety and efficacy from the randomized controlled trial, supports the routine use of early closure of a temporary ileostomy after rectal resection for cancer in selected patients without signs of anastomotic leakage.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Clinical trial<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Registered at clinicaltrials.gov, clinical trials identifier NCT01287637.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-019-06732-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,25]],"date-time":"2019-03-25T16:03:20Z","timestamp":1553529800000},"page":"69-76","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Cost analysis in a randomized trial of early closure of a temporary ileostomy after rectal resection for cancer (EASY trial)"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9602-475X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jennifer","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Angenete","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Bock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adiela","family":"Correa-Marinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne K.","family":"Danielsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Gehrman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Haglind","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens E.","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Skullman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anette","family":"Wedin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Rosenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"6732_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1216","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0007-1323.2001.01862.x","volume":"88","author":"DP O\u2019Leary","year":"2001","unstructured":"O\u2019Leary DP, Fide CJ, Foy C, Lucarotti ME (2001) Quality of life after low anterior resection with total mesorectal excision and temporary loop ileostomy for rectal carcinoma.
