Comparative study on two kidney graft rinsing and preservation solutions in terms of the post-transplantation risk of delayed graft function and cost

Abstract: For the 45 kidney grafts rinsed and preserved with Eurocollins (strategy S1: n1 = 45) the cost/graft was estimated at 40 euros. With Viaspan (strategy S2: n2 = 61) the corresponding cost/graft was 424 euros. Logistic regression analysis showed that Viaspan was better than Eurocollins solution (ebeta = 0.437; P = 0.05) in preventing DGF. Overall, S2 was less expensive than S1, from the hospital's perspective. The mean difference per patient was 278 euros, which amounts to a saving of 2% of the total cost per re… Show more

“…The other four citations reported one study which compared ViaSpan preservation solution with HTK 66 and two studies which compared ViaSpan with Euro Collins. 67,68 These four papers/abstracts were therefore not relevant to the comparator technologies of interest in this review, and were excluded from further detailed appraisal. However, they were retrieved and studied for any insights about methods or data sources they might provide.…”

“…We also examined a number of economic studies which compared alternative methods of kidney storage. 67,68,70,77 Another older study, by Hornberger and colleagues, 78 has also highlighted the potential importance for cost-effectiveness analyses of including re-transplantation as a treatment pathway.…”
