Pharmacoeconomic analysis shows that highly selective COX-2 inhibitors are cost-effective for high-risk patients. Non-selective NSAIDs with antacids are only justified for low-risk patients with mild gastrointestinal issues.

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacoeconomics
  • Health Economics
  • Clinical Epidemiology

Context:

  • Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) use is widespread.
  • Evaluating cost-effectiveness of NSAIDs is crucial for rational healthcare resource allocation.
  • Previous studies have not fully compared the costs of selective vs. non-selective NSAIDs and associated gastrointestinal bleeding.

Purpose:

  • To conduct a pharmacoeconomic study on NSAID use in canton Tuzla.
  • To compare medication costs of highly selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors versus nonselective NSAIDs.
  • To calculate the medication costs associated with upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding.

Summary:

  • A meta-analysis of clinical studies on NSAID safety and efficacy was performed.

  • Hospital treatment costs for high-risk patients significantly exceeded potential medication costs with selective COX-2 inhibitors.
  • Using non-selective NSAIDs with antacids is justified only for low-risk patients with mild gastrointestinal disturbances.

    • Impact:

    • Provides evidence for optimizing NSAID prescribing practices.
    • Informs healthcare policy regarding cost-effective pain management strategies.
    • Highlights the economic implications of gastrointestinal bleeding associated with NSAID use.
