Cost-effectiveness analysis of polymyxin-B immobilized fiber column and conventional medical therapy in the management of abdominal septic shock in Italy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Severe abdominal sepsis and septic shock are common problems in intensive care units (ICUs), and carry high mortality. The purpose of this economic analysis was to determine the cost-effectiveness of polymyxin B immobilized fiber column (PMX-F) plus conventional therapy (CT) (PMX-F-CT) versus CT alone for patients with severe sepsis/septic shock of abdominal origin, in the perspective of the Italian hospital.
