A Cost-Effectiveness and Budget Impact Analysis of AbobotulinumtoxinA in Greece.

This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of abobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) compared with BSC alone for managing limb spasticity in adult patients in Greece, as well as to conduct a budget impact analysis of the introduction of aboBoNT-A in the Greek healthcare system compared to onabotulinumtoxinA (onaBoNT-A). Clinical studies were utilized to extract data on drug efficacy and patients' utility, while cost data were collected from Greek sources. The results of the study showed that aboBoNT-A plus BSC was a cost-effective treatment option for both upper and lower limb spasticity in adult patients compared to BSC. Additionally, introducing aboBoNT-A into the Greek healthcare system resulted in cost savings in pharmaceutical spending over a 5-year period. The findings suggest that incorporating aboBoNT-A into the Greek healthcare system could improve patient access to treatment and healthcare resource efficiency, as it is a more economical option compared to onaBoNT-A.
