Linkage to HIV medical care and on-going engagement in HIV medical care are vital for ending the HIV epidemic. However, little is known about the cost-utility of HIV linkage, re-engagement and retention (LRC) in care programs. This paper presents the cost-utility analysis of Access to Care, a national HIV LRC program. Using standard methods from the US Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine, we calculated the cost-utility ratio. Seven Access to Care programs were cost-effective and two were cost-saving. This study adds to a small but growing body of evidence to support the cost-effectiveness of LRC programs.
将艾滋病毒患者与医疗服务联系起来并持续参与艾滋病毒医疗服务对于终结艾滋病疫情至关重要。然而,人们对艾滋病毒患者的联系、重新参与和保留(LRC)护理方案的成本效益知之甚少。本文介绍了 Access to Care,一项全国性艾滋病毒 LRC 方案的成本效益分析。我们使用美国卫生与医疗保健成本效益小组的标准方法计算了成本效益比。有七个 Access to Care 方案具有成本效益,有两个方案具有成本节约效果。这项研究增加了支持 LRC 方案具有成本效益的少量但不断增长的证据。
