متن کاملIs B-type natriuretic peptide-guided heart failure management cost-effective?
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a common medical problem and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)-guided heart failure management for outpatients with symptomatic CHF was found to reduce the readmission rate and mortality, but the costs of treatment may provoke concern in the current cost-conscious clinical setting. METHODS We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis using a Markov model...

Current guidelines thus only recommend disease management targeted to high-risk patients with HF. METHODS This study applied a new technique to infer the degree to which clinical trials have...
