摘要：

An economic analysis was conducted using clinical outcomes in the MIRACL trial that evaluated high-dose atorvastatin versus placebo for 16 weeks after acute coronary syndrome. The direct cost of atorvastatin was largely offset by the associated decrease in cardiovascular events. The net incremental cost of atorvastatin treatment was $157/patient with a cost-effectiveness ratio of $4,086/event avoided. (C) 2003 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
