Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 4 therapeutic schemes for vulva condyloma. METHODS:228 patients with vulva condyloma were randomly divided into four groups based on their visiting time:Group A (drug therapy alone),Group B (Leep knife plus drug therapy),Group C (CO2-Laser plus drug therapy),Group D (Microwave plus drug therapy). The cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted on the 4 schemes applying the principle in pharmacoeconomics. RESULTS:The costs of four groups were 264.25,557.82,1 065.31 and 1 485.76 Yuan respectively. The effective rates of four groups were 42.1%,83.3%,85.7% and 89.7% respectively. Compared with scheme A,the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio in schemes B,C,and D were 712.55,1 837.29,and 2 566.20 respectively. CONCLUSION:Pharmacoeconomically,Group B (Leep knife plus drug therapy) is the optimal therapy for vulva condyloma.
