1ISG-037 Health-related quality of life in hepatitis c patients who achieve sustained virological response to direct-acting antivirals: a comparison with the general population

Abstract

Results In men the cost is estimated at C ¼ 209 for the usual UC removed by flexible cystoscopy versus C ¼ 124 for the magnetic UC (gain of C ¼ 85 with the magnetic UC, higher than the C ¼ 63 announced). In women, the cost is estimated at C¼ 84 for the usual UC removed by rigid cystoscopy, versus C ¼ 124 for the magnetic UC (C ¼ 40 more expensive with the magnetic UC, contrary to the gain of C ¼ 32 announced). Since the magnetic UC was placed but not yet removed, this estimation does not include the cost of hospital staff. Conclusion The economic evaluation conducted in our hospital is largely in favour of the use of the magnetic UC in men. Although this is not the case for women, its referencing to replace the current UC could save more than C ¼ 12 000 per year in our hospital, based on 2017 consumption. Patient satisfaction also remains to be assessed. REFERENCES AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSNo conflict of interest.
