The present study sought to assess the mean and activity based cost (ABC) of the laboratory diagnosis for tuberculosis through the application of conventional and molecular techniques-Xpert®MTB/RIF and Genotype®MTBDRplus-in a tertiary referral hospital in Brazil.
The mean cost and ABC formed the basis for the cost analysis of the TB laboratory diagnosis.
The mean cost and ABC were US$ 4.00 and US$ 3.24, respectively, for a bacilloscopy; US$ 6.73 and US$ 5.27 for a Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) culture; US$ 105.42 and US$ 76.56 for a drug sensitivity test (DST)-proportions method (PM) in LJ; US$ 148.45 and US$ 136.80 for a DST-BACTECTM MGITTM 960 system; US$ 11.53 and US$ 9.89 for an Xpert®MTB/RIF; and US$ 84.21 and US$ 48.38 for a Genotype®MTBDRplus.
The mean cost and ABC proved to be good decision-making parameters in the diagnosis of TB and MDR-TB. The effective implementation of algorithms will depend on the conditions at each location.
本研究旨在评估通过常规和分子技术——Xpert®MTB/RIF 和 Genotype®MTBDRplus——在巴西一家三级转诊医院进行结核病实验室诊断的平均成本和基于活动的成本(ABC)。
平均成本和 ABC 是结核病实验室诊断成本分析的基础。
对于细菌学检查,平均成本和 ABC 分别为 4.00 美元和 3.24 美元;对于 Lowenstein-Jensen(LJ)培养,平均成本和 ABC 分别为 6.73 美元和 5.27 美元;对于 LJ 中的药敏试验(DST)-比例法(PM),平均成本和 ABC 分别为 105.42 美元和 76.56 美元;对于 DST-BACTECTM MGITTM 960 系统,平均成本和 ABC 分别为 148.45 美元和 136.80 美元;对于 Xpert®MTB/RIF,平均成本和 ABC 分别为 11.53 美元和 9.89 美元;对于 Genotype®MTBDRplus,平均成本和 ABC 分别为 84.21 美元和 48.38 美元。
平均成本和 ABC 被证明是诊断结核病和耐多药结核病的良好决策参数。算法的有效实施将取决于每个地点的条件。
