  3. Questions • How many US women with breast cancer had autologous bone marrow transplantation ? • What was the mortality associated with the procedure ? • What was the cost of the procedure ?

  4. Methods 1: Health Care Utilization Project Database • National Inpatient Statistics of HCUP: discharge statistics from 22 states, weighted to give national estimates, commenced 1993 • Identified women with breast cancer using ICD-9 codes • Identified women with breast cancer and ABMT using ICD-9 codes
