ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economic efficacy of 6 therapeutic schemes for hepatic lesions induced by chemotherapeutic drugs. METHODS: A total of 269 malignant tumor patients complicating hepatic lesion because of using of chemotherapeutic drugs were randomly divided into 6 groups (A, B, C, D, E and F) to be treated with Reduced Glutathione Sodium for Injection, Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate Injection, Compound Glycyrrhizin Injection, Polyene Phosphatidylcholine Injection, Compound Diisopropylamine Dichloroacetate Injection, Compound Ammonium Glycyrrhetate Injection, respectively. The curative effects were recorded and the cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted. RESULTS: In A, B, C, D, E and F groups, the effective rates were 91.67%, 75.00%, 86.05%, 84.78%, 87.50% and 85.42%, respectively, the costs were 798.28 yuan, 311.08 yuan, 859.88 yuan, 918.68 yuan, 1 092.28 yuan and 1 319.08 yuan, respectively, and the cost-effectiveness ratios were: 870.82, 414.77, 999.28, 1 083.60, 1 248.32 and 1 544.23, respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios for A, C, D, E, F groups as against group B were 2 922.62, 4 966.52, 6 212.68, 6 249.60 and 9 673.70, respectively. CONCLUSION: Group A was proved to be the safe, effective and economical therapeutic scheme for hepatic lesions induced by chemotherapeutic drugs.
