Economic evaluation of ceftibuten in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adult Mexican patients
Background
Urinary tract infections are a leading cause of medical consultations in Mexico and the growth of antimicrobial resistance results in increased morbidity and rising costs.
Aim
To make an economic evaluation of ceftibuten as treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections in adults, from the perspective of the Mexican private health system.
Methods
A cohort-based decision-making model was developed to compare ceftibuten with TMP-SMX, ciprofloxacin, and cefalexin. Effectiveness was measured using local susceptibility rates of Escherichia coli. Costs were obtained from official market value data and converted to 2014 USD values. Incremental analysis was employed to determine if ceftibuten was a worthwhile investment on the part of the private health system in Mexico.
Results
The total expected cost per patient for ciprofloxacin was $116 USD and the corresponding costs for TMP/SMX and cefalexin were $92.40 USD and $74.80 USD, respectively. Ceftibuten had a lower expected cost ($34.50 USD) and a higher percentage of therapeutic success (99.4%), compared with ciprofloxacin 21%, cefalexin 41%, and TMP/SMX 31.7%.
Conclusions
Even though ceftibuten has a higher market price than other antimicrobials in Mexico, it can represent possible savings by avoiding the costs associated with undesirable results due to antimicrobial resistance to E. coli.
