A Cost-Effectiveness Model Comparing Rivaroxaban and Dabigatran Etexilate with Enoxaparin Sodium as Thromboprophylaxis after Total Hip and Total Knee Replacement in the Irish Healthcare Setting
PharmacoEconomics, 10/12/09

McCullagh L et al. – Base–case analysis indicates that when both rivaroxaban and dabigatran etexilate are compared with enoxaparin sodium, rivaroxaban is the less costly and more effective option after THR and TKR. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis indicates that rivaroxaban is the most cost–effective strategy at a cost–effectiveness threshold of €45 000 per QALY; however, there is uncertainty regarding this strategy being more cost effective than dabigatran etexilate when both are compared with enoxaparin sodium.
