The economic argument for hepatitis B treatment simplification and expansion
1Center for Disease Analysis Foundation, Lafayette, Colorado, USA.
Abstract:
One component of decisions regarding hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment simplification and expansion is the economic perspective. Literature was reviewed for studies which provide estimates for the economic impact of simplifying and expanding treatment eligibility. Eight published studies and four unpublished studies were included and all but one subset of one study found that expanding treatment criteria would result in programs that would be at minimum cost-effective and most often highly cost-effective.
