Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate three therapeutic schemes for sudden deafness with cost-effectiveness analysis for guiding rational use of drugs. METHODS:Using pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate 61 patients with 62ears of sudden deafness treated by Salvia Miltiorrhiza(groups A), Salvia Miltiorrhiza and cerebroprotein hydrolysate(groups B) or cerebroprotein hydrolysate(groups C) . RESULTS: The effective rates of three groups were 73.9%, 75.0% and 80.0% respectively without significant difference among them(P ＞ 0.05) . The average drug costs for one patient in three groups were 617.89 yuan, 2 651.29 yuan and 2 647.99 yuan respectively. The costs for 1% increase of effective rate in three groups were 8.36 yuan, 35.35 yuan and 33.10 yuan respectively. CONCLUSION: Salvia Miltiorrhiza scheme is the most rational one for sudden deafness.
