Characteristics, therapeutic pathway and the economicburden of patients with drug-resistantepilepsy: A real-world analysis following the introduction of cenobamate inItaly
Abstract Objectives: Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) remains a major clinical challenge, affecting approximately one-thirdof patients with epilepsy. Cenobamate, a novel antiseizure medication (ASM) approved in Italy in 2022, has shown promisein clinical trials. However, real-world data on its use, especially economic evaluations, remain limited. This analysis assessed the impact of cenobamate in Italian clinical practice, focusing… Read More »Characteristics, therapeutic pathway and the economicburden of patients with drug-resistantepilepsy: A real-world analysis following the introduction of cenobamate inItaly
Evaluation of biochemical and economic outcomes in patients treated with PCSK9 inhibitors in a real clinical practice setting
BACKGRO UND : PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) in combination with high-dose statins can reduce LDL -cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by 50-60% over statin monotherapy. This analysis investigated biochemical (LDL-C reduction) and economic outcomes in Italian patients treated with PCSK9i or potentially eligible but untreated.METHOD S: Administrative databases of healthcare institutions covering around 5 million residents were used… Read More »Evaluation of biochemical and economic outcomes in patients treated with PCSK9 inhibitors in a real clinical practice setting
Profile, Healthcare Resource Consumption and Related Costs in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Patients: a Real-World Analysis in Italy
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are rare autoimmune diseases triggeringinflammation of small vessels. This real-world analysis was focused on the most common AAV forms, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), to describe patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics,therapeutic management, disease progression, and the related economic burden. A retrospective analysis was conducted on administrative… Read More »Profile, Healthcare Resource Consumption and Related Costs in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis Patients: a Real-World Analysis in Italy
