| description | BACKGROUND: Oseltamivir and zanamivir have indication for treating symptomatic flu and in prophylaxis in epidemics for groups with high risk of complications. METHODS: Effectiveness data was identified in literature review, and costs were obtained from official systems and micro-costing. RESULTS: We adopted a decision-tree model to assess the effectiveness of chemoprophylaxis in Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) perspective with willingness to pay BRL 30,000.00/QALY. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for chemoprophylaxis compared to no prophylaxis was - 2,921.14/QALY. CONCLUSION: Chemoprophylaxis is cost-effective in Brazilian scenario. |
