چکیده

235 U (108)/200 U (100-440) was injected. Based on a BoNT-A injection interval of 12 weeks, the annual cost per patient in the UK would be 1,068 GBP for abobotulinumtoxinA, 1,198 GBP for onabotulinumtoxinA and 1,399 GBP for incobotulinumtoxinA. ConClusions: Considering the real life practice of BoNT-A injections and the comparison of treatment groups treated for the same limb segment, this analysis suggests that the use of abobotulinumtoxinA would result potentially in a reduction in the health care cost for the treatment of spasticity and that more patients could be treated with abobotulinumtoxinA with a given budget.
