20245 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Costs incurred by patients on BPaL were 37% (95% CI 22-56) less than SSOR and 50% (95% CI 32-68) less than SLOR, while providers could save 36% (95% CI 21-56) to 80% (95% CI 64-93) per successful treatment, respectively. The study shows that treatment of DR-TB with BPaL was cost-saving for patients and cost-effective for the health system.
