Résumé

Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), a special form of acute kidney failure, is a rare, acute, life-threatening complication of cirrhosis and has a very poor prognosis. Terlipressin (TERLIVAZ A decision analytic model was developed to estimate the HRS treatment-related cost per response over an HRS hospitalization (assuming 14 days). Patients can experience either HRS reversal (complete response) or no HRS reversal (partial/no response) upon receipt of treatment. The efficacy, safety, and treatment duration data were from published head-to-head randomized international trials. Total treatment cost comprised drug acquisition and treatment-related costs (intensive care unit [ICU], dialysis [intermittent or continuous], pulse oximetry monitoring for terlipressin, and adverse events) sourced from the published literature. Cost per response, defined as the total treatment cost per HRS reversal was estimated for each treatment. The number needed to treat (NNT), defined as the number of patients treated to achieve HRS reversal in 1 additional patient, was estimated. Cost per response of terlipressin + albumin was lower than midodrine and octreotide + albumin (M&O) (US$85,315 vs. $467,794) and norepinephrine + albumin ($81,614 vs. $139,324). NNT for HRS reversal was 2 patients with terlipressin + albumin vs. M&O + albumin and 4 patients with terlipressin + albumin vs. norepinephrine + albumin, respectively. The analysis shows that terlipressin is a cost-effective treatment due to its higher efficacy and administration in the non-ICU setting. Terlipressin is a value-based treatment option for appropriate adults with HRS with rapid reduction in kidney function. Hepatorenal syndrome, a functional, progressive kidney failure, is a life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. It is important to improve kidney function in patients who are hospitalized with hepatorenal syndrome considering the cost of treatment. This study assessed the cost per complete response/ hepatorenal syndrome reversal of terlipressin + albumin from a United States hospital perspective. This study shows that terlipressin improves kidney function with lower intensive care unit and dialysis costs compared with unapproved treatments. Terlipressin is a cost-effective, value-based treatment option for appropriate adults with hepatorenal syndrome with rapid reduction in kidney function.
