Cost-effectiveness of hepatitis C virus antiviral treatment for injection drug user populations.
UNLABELLED Injecting drug use is the main risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission in most developed countries. HCV antiviral treatment (peginterferon-α + ribavirin) has been shown to be cost-effective for patients with no reinfection risk. We examined the cost-effectiveness of providing antiviral treatment for injecting drug users (IDUs) as compared with treating ex/non-IDUs or no treatmen...
متن کاملCan antiviral therapy for hepatitis C reduce the prevalence of HCV among injecting drug user populations? A modeling analysis of its prevention utility.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis C virus antiviral treatment is effective for individual patients but few active injecting drug users are treated. We considered the utility of antiviral treatment for primary prevention of hepatitis C. METHODS A hepatitis C transmission model among injecting drug users was developed, incorporating treatment (62.5% average sustained viral response) with no retreatme...
متن کاملCost effectiveness of influenza vaccination for specific populations in Iran
Introduction: Influenza viruses are the major respiratory pathogens worldwide and high-risk groups such as healthcare workers may develop severe forms of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination for 4 target groups including pregnant women, elderly people (aged over 65 years), healthcare workers and school-age children in Iran. Metho...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of antiviral treatment in liver transplant recipients with HCV infection.
Within 5-10 years, 20-40% of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected liver transplant recipients can be expected to develop cirrhosis. Here, cost-effectiveness of antiviral therapy was assessed. A Markov model was developed to simulate disease progression and calculate outcome and costs of treatment. In the baseline analysis, Peg-IFN/RBV treatment prevented organ loss/death, gained quality-adjusted li...
متن کاملThe cost-effectiveness of expanding harm reduction activities for injecting drug users in Odessa, Ukraine.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to estimate the cost-effectiveness of a harm reduction intervention among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Odessa, Ukraine; and to explore how the cost-effectiveness changes if the intervention were scaled up to 60% as recommended by WHO/UNAIDS. STUDY DESIGN Economic providers' costs were estimated. A dynamic mathematical model, fitted to epidemiolog...
