Rapporto costo-efficacia della terapia peginterferone α-2a + ribavirina in confronto a interferone α-2b + ribavirina in pazienti affetti da epatite cronica di tipo C precedentemente non trattati
Introduction In adults with previously untreated chronic hepatitis C (CHC), the combination of peginterferon α-2a plus ribavirin produces a higher rate of sustained virological response (SVR) than interferon α-2b plus ribavirin, but it is still unproven whether this increase is cost-effective. The objective of this study was to determine if the gain in SVR with peginterferon α-2a plus ribavirin is worth the incremental cost.
