Overview

Prospective observational study evaluates antibiotic cost-effectiveness for LRTIs, highlighting optimal choices.

Key Points

  • Co-amoxiclav emerged as the most cost-effective antibiotic for treating LRTIs, demonstrating the lowest cost effectiveness ratio at 13.998.
  • Among five antibiotics analyzed, amikacin and ceftriaxone were next in line for cost-effectiveness, while piperacillin/tazobactam and moxifloxacin showed higher cost effectiveness ratios.
  • The study included 123 LRTI patients, using a strategy based on percentage healing and symptom-free days to assess effectiveness of treatments.
  • Findings underline the significance of cost-effectiveness analysis in antibiotic selection to improve patient outcomes and optimize healthcare resources.
