Treatment costs of otogenic vertigo

This research explores the cost-effectiveness of two treatment options for otogenic vertigo: a combination preparation containing cinnarizine and dimenhydrinate, and betahistine. The study utilizes a decision-tree analysis to compare the costs and effectiveness of these treatments from the perspective of a third-party payer.

Combination Preparation More Cost-Effective

The study's findings demonstrate that the combination preparation is more cost-effective than betahistine for treating otogenic vertigo. This conclusion is based on the effectiveness-adjusted costs, which take into account both the cost of treatment and the effectiveness in achieving symptom resolution. The combination preparation showed significantly lower effectiveness-adjusted costs compared to betahistine.

Balancing Cost-Effectiveness and Patient Preferences

This research highlights the importance of considering both cost-effectiveness and patient preferences when making treatment decisions. While the combination preparation may be more cost-effective, patients may prefer betahistine due to its superior effectiveness and side effect profile. The study emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach between healthcare providers and patients to ensure that treatment decisions are both cost-effective and meet individual patient needs.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

This research provides valuable insights into the cost-effectiveness of different treatment options for otogenic vertigo. The study's findings suggest that the combination preparation is more cost-effective than betahistine. However, the researchers acknowledge that patient preferences may influence treatment decisions. This underscores the importance of a collaborative approach between healthcare providers and patients in navigating the complex desert of treatment options and making informed choices that align with both cost and individual needs.
