Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Jianweishu Granules Combined with Esomeprazole in the Treatment of Chronic Non-atrophic Gastritis
Objective To compare and analyze the cost-effectiveness of jianweishu granules combined with esomeprazole and esomeprazole alone or jianweishu granules alone in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis,and to study the role and significance of jianweishu granules in the treatment. Methods A randomized clinical trial was conducted to observe the improvement of the disease and symptoms of patients with chronic non-atrophic gastritis under the intervention of three drug administration schemes according to the diagnostic criteria of traditional Chinese and Western medicine,and the results were quantitatively scored. At the same time,the economic cost data of medication for patients in each experimental group were collected,and the data were analyzed after proper transformation processing and the results of quantitative evaluation of efficacy. Cost-effectiveness parameters of each group were obtained,and then the cost-effectiveness parameters of the three treatment schemes were analyzed and judged as the best. Results According to the cost-effectiveness parameters,the average improvement cost,cost-effectiveness ratio and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of jianweishu granules combined with esomeprazole were the best among the three regimens. Respectively,there was no significant difference in the average treatment cost between jianweishu granules combined with esomeprazole alone (P>0.05),but it was significantly better than jianweishu granules alone (P<0.05). Conclusion In this study,the overall cost-effectiveness of jianweishu granules combined with esomeprazole was proved to be the best.
