Cost4Visit: a cross-sectional cohort study on hidden costs among surgical patients and relatives for in-person and video visits
Direct and indirect costs among patients and relatives for a visit to a tertiary surgical outpatient clinic are high. Reporting previously neglected, yet significant costs, including those borne by companions, could enhance awareness among clinicians and policymakers regarding the financial and societal impact of offering certain visit modalities and may influence the shared decision-making process.
