Previous studies have characterized intersurgeon variation in costs for common orthopaedic procedures, but such variation remains unexplored in the context of hip arthroscopic surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To (1) characterize variation in the cost of hip arthroscopic surgery between surgeons using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) and (2) identify patient characteristics, intraoperative findings, and operative procedures underlying such intersurgeon variation in costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Employing TDABC, the authors determined the intraoperative cost of 890 outpatient hip arthroscopic surgery cases performed by 5 surgeons at 4 surgery centers from 2015 to 2022. All costs were calculated in United States dollars. Costs were normalized to protect the confidentiality of internal hospital cost data. Surgeon-specific mean costs were calculated with and without adjustment for patient characteristics, surgical personnel, operative factors, and surgery center. Finally, to elucidate the sources of surgeon-driven cost variation, the authors estimated the proportion of variation attributable to different cost subcategories, including labor, implant\/allograft, and other supply costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The intraoperative cost per patient ranged from 38.2 to 212.8 normalized cost units (mean, 100.0 \u00b1 26.5), with a 1.6-fold variation in the mean cost between the highest and lowest cost surgeons. Operating surgeon alone explained 53.4% of the observed variation in costs. Controlling for case-specific features significantly improved the explanatory power to 91.8% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001), but the adjusted variation in costs between surgeons remained essentially unchanged (decreased by &lt;3%). Each of the 5 surgeons generated costs that deviated significantly from those predicted based on case-specific factors, with mean surgeon deviations ranging from \u22125.0% to 21.8% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001 for all). Drivers of cost variation differed substantially between surgeons but generally stemmed from labor or other supply costs rather than implant\/allograft costs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The cost of outpatient hip arthroscopic surgery varied widely between surgeons; the cause of this deviation was multifactorial and surgeon specific. While within-surgeon cost variation was effectively explained by patient and operative characteristics, most between-surgeon variability remained unexplained by observable factors. These insights may support individual surgeons in cost reduction efforts and, more importantly, may enable the alignment of reimbursement rates with costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465251341463","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,6]],"date-time":"2025-06-06T00:17:29Z","timestamp":1749169049000},"page":"1869-1877","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Surgeon-Driven Variation in the Cost of Hip Arthroscopic Surgery for Labral Tears: A Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5996-6393","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael C.","family":"Dean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1524-3908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathan J.","family":"Cherian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, University of Nebraska, Omaha, Nebraska, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana Paula","family":"Beck da Silva Etges","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Avant-garde Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"National Institute of Science and Technology for Health Technology Assessment, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1758-9929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kieran S.","family":"Dowley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4265-7345","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaveh A.","family":"Torabian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zachary L.","family":"LaPorte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott D.","family":"Martin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2023.10.050"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546515579184"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-200405000-00021"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.87B7.15203"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2023.05.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CORR.0000000000002605"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2013.02.008"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-012-2712-x"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","article-title":"An introduction to linear mixed-effects modeling in R","volume":"4","author":"Brown VA.","year":"2021","unstructured":"Brown VA.
