Baird Medical Investment Holdings Ltd. $(BDMD)$ has highlighted the results of a new cost-utility analysis conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, evaluating the clinical and economic benefits of transcutaneous thyroid nodule ablation $(TNA)$ for both benign and malignant thyroid nodules. The study abstract was presented at the recent American Thyroid Association (ATA) Annual Meeting. Findings indicate that management strategies incorporating TNA can result in lower healthcare costs and improved patient quality of life compared to traditional approaches such as surgery and observation. The health economic model projected per-patient cost savings of $1,641 for benign nodules and $380 for thyroid microcarcinomas over a five-year period, along with gains in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The analysis suggests that TNA is the preferred management strategy in most scenarios from a health economic perspective.
