[Prevention of neonatal anemia with recombinant human erythropoietin: a cost-benefit analysis].

Abstract:

:A few years ago recombinant human erythropoietin (rh-EPO) has been introduced for the prophylaxis of anaemia of prematurity. Aim of this controlled study was a cost-effectiveness analysis of the prophylaxis with rh-EPO versus sole transfusion with packed red blood cells. In the study group 33 infants (gestational age 30 +/- 2 weeks, birthweight 1217 g +/- 244 g) were treated with rh-EPO beginning on the fifth day of life for a six week period. They received 750 IE rh-EPO/kg/week and transfusion with packed red blood cells when indicated. In the historic control group 33 infants (gestational age 29.2 +/- 1.9 weeks, birthweight 1181 g +/- 205 g) did not receive rh-EPO, patients were only transfused. Indication and guidelines for transfusion were identical for both groups. The number of transfusions was registered after 2 and 4 weeks of life and by the time of hospital discharge. The cost analysis was carried out by using current prices for packed red blood cells including material and processing and prices for rh-EPO (Neo-Recormon, Boehringer Mannheim). Infants in the study group received 1.39 +/- 1.94 transfusions per patient while patients in the control group needed 2.7 +/- 1.93 transfusions per patient (p < 0.05). Cost for treatment was slightly increased in the study group (DM 536,- vs. DM 459,-). Prophylaxis of anaemia of prematurity with recombinant human erythropoietin proved to be effective. Compared with sole blood transfusion treatment, expenses for the prophylaxis with rh-EPO were only little higher.
