Economic impact of ulipristal acetate on surgical procedures for uterine fibroids in France.

Objective: To assess the budget impact of using ulipristal acetate (UPA) 5 mg to treat women with uterine fibroids (UF) causing moderate to severe symptoms.

Design: We modelled trends in the number of surgical procedures for symptomatic UF, with and without the use of UPA for preoperative or intermittent treatment and assessed the budget impact of UPA use from the French national healthcare insurance system perspective.

Setting: A French national hospital database (PMSI) that records admissions and relative procedures to public and private hospitals.
