摘要

Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the cost effectiveness of follitropin beta (Puregonreg;; NV Organon) and urofollitropin (Metrodin HPreg;; Ares-Serono) in women undergoingin vitrofertilisation (IVF) treatment in Greece.DesignA Markov model was designed using clinical data from a large meta-analysis of IVF treatment and expert opinion on IVF patterns in Greece. The model was based on women going through the process for a maximum of three stimulation cycles. The study was conducted from a societal perspective and resource utilisation direct medical costs in 1999 Greek Drachmae (Dr), $US1 = Dr310 was quantified retrospectively using information gained from the clinical trials and expert opinion. The overall treatment costs, cost effectiveness and incremental cost effectiveness of the two treatments were determined. Sensitivity analysis was performed on critical variables.ResultsTotal direct costs per woman undergoing IVF treatment were higher for follitropin beta than urofollitropin Dr2thinsp;070 359vsDr1thinsp;711 410 ($US6679vs$US5734), reflecting the higher acquisition cost of the former. However, the cost per ongoing pregnancy for follitropin beta was lower than that for urofollitropin Dr3thinsp;373 536vsDr3thinsp;585 812 ($US10thinsp;882vs$US11thinsp;567). The additional cost for one extra ongoing pregnancy with follitropin beta in comparison with urofollitropin was Dr2thinsp;630 948 ($US8487). Sensitivity analysis showed that these results were robust to variations in critical parameters.ConclusionsIn women undergoing IVF treatment, follitropin beta is more cost effective than urofollitropin in the Greek healthcare setting.
