摘要
We analysed the pharmaco-economics of the prospective peri-operative studies of statin administration for major elective vascular surgery, using the NHS reference costs for 2004. This analysis suggests that peri-operative statin therapy for patients undergoing vascular surgery may present the most cost-effective use of statin therapy yet described, with a number-needed-to-treat of 15 and almost 60% of the total cost of atorvastatin therapy recovered through a reduction in peri-operative adverse events.
