ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 3 kinds of traditional Chinese medicinal injections in the treatment of angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease(CHD).METHODS:223 CHD patients with angina pectoris were divided into 3 groups:group A(Xuesaitong injection),group B(Breviscapine for injection) and group C(Shuxuening injection). The curative effects were observed and the cost-effectiveness analyses of the 3 groups were conducted as well.RESULTS:The costs for the 3 groups were 1 345.50 yuan,1 768.125 yuan,1 770.00 yuan,respectively; the total effective rates were 83.75%,82.09% and 85.53%,respectively; the cost-effectiveness ratios were 16.07,21.54 and 20.69,respectively;the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of group B and C were 254.60 and 238.48,respectively as against group A. CONCLUSION:Xuesaitong injection(group A) is the preferred therapy for angina pectoris caused by CHD.
