Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, which are increasing rapidly throughout the world. Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that remains a health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of up to 34.11% in 2018. This research was intended to identify cost-effective antihypertensive medication for inpatients with hypertension-diabetes mellitus and hypertensionheart failure. The research method used a retrospective cohort design and measured blood pressure (BP) 72 hours after treatment as the outcome of the observation. Based on a payer perspective, the medical expense was calculated from direct medical costs written in billing invoices. The research subjects were inpatients with hypertension-diabetes mellitus and hypertension-heart failure at a government hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In the cost-effectiveness analysis, Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) was calculated by dividing the difference in cost by the difference in the outcome of hypertension treatment.In the antihypertensive medication of hypertension-diabetes mellitus inpatients, angiotensin-receptor blockers/ calciumchannel blockers (ACB-CCB) were found to be more cost-effective than CCB with incremental costs of IDR 191,405/488,864 for every mmHg decrease of systolic/diastolic BP. Meanwhile, in the antihypertensive treatment of hypertension-heart failure inpatients, the combination of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and diuretics was more cost-effective than ACEI-CCB (ICERs= IDR 8,303,483/-39,856,718 per mmHg) and ARB (ICERs= IDR 3,627,694/-2,380,075 per mmHg).In conclusion, ARB-CCB is a cost-effective medication for hypertension-diabetes mellitus inpatients, while ACEI-Diuretics offers a cost-effective hypertensive treatment for hypertension-heart failure inpatients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
