Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of budesonide/formoterol compared to other asthma treatments at Mexico's National Institute for Respiratory Diseases.
  • Budesonide/formoterol had a lower average cost per patient ($733.36 USD) compared to fluticasone/vilanterol ($767.24 USD), and it showed a significant reduction in exacerbations with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $613.31 USD for better management.
  • Overall, budesonide/formoterol was found to be a very cost-effective treatment option, suggesting it could reduce healthcare costs associated with emergency visits and hospitalizations despite fewer exacerbations per patient.
