0 1 7 ) A 8 5 3 -A 9 4 3 A867 generated a tornado diagram, and a two-way deterministic one considering the two key parameters that differentiate CRRT from IRRT: the daily implementation cost difference and the cumulative risk of dialysis dependence. We used the threshold of 3 times per capita GDP, that is, R $ 84,741 (3 X R $ 28,247) as the threshold for cost-effectiveness. Results: CRRT is dominant vs. IRRT from 18 months of treatment. Based our assumptions, the cohort of patients initially treated with CRRT had better clinical outcomes QALY´s and lower total costs of treatment. Patients treated with CRRT are more likely to recover renal function. ConClusions: CRRT when compared to IRRT can be considered a dominant therapy, that is, it offers better outcomes and lower total treatment costs, under the perspective of the private healthcare system in Brazil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
