Annual health service costs associated with refracture used assigned National Weighted Activity Unit (NWAU) for each episode of care multiplied by the NSW State Price [22]. In this study, costs have been reported from a NSW Health perspective, e.g. costs associated with inpatient medications, pathology, imaging and Emergency admissions. Outpatient costs were not included; as in Australia, these are covered by various Federal Government funding schemes; for example, outpatient medication costs are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and outpatient imaging costs and general practitioner visits are covered by the Medicare Benefits Schedule.
