Standardized evaluation was performed by analyzing research papers. Moreover, expert opinions, studies and cost data were combined to evaluate cost of THP and EPI. With systematic review and expert opinions, we confirmed that THP and EPI were not statistically different when they were used as prophylaxis for recurrence in patients with superficial bladder tumors by bladder instillation after TUR-BT. Moreover, the cost evaluation of THP and EPI needs to be separately discussed according to original/generic drug. The original drug THP had more cost advantages than EPI, while generic EPI had more cost advantages than THP.展开更多

We searched electronic databases and retrieved articles to make a systematic evaluation, and then make a cost-effectiveness analysis by decision tree model combined with data from clinical treatments. The result shows that compared with the common sterile gauze, SSFD possesses an apparent advantage. The effective ratio is 96.3% versus 77.3%, although the cost of SSFD is much higher than that of sterile gauze, Mepilex appears to be more cost-effectiveness for preventive use.展开更多
