Overview

Treatment of encephalopathy in very early stages is cost effective. Early intervention relieves forthcoming complications and the costs to support them.

Financial Costs

  • Cost effectiveness of various therapies depends on the condition.
  • Hypothermia - Neonatal Encephalopathy - The incremental cost per disability-free life year gained was US$28,124 (£19,931 ; €26,920) as per the data of 2006 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). [1]
  • Detection of minimal hepatic encephalopathy, especially using the inhibitory control test, and subsequent treatment with lactulose could substantially reduce societal costs by preventing motor vehicle accident. Net program savings over 5 years ranged from $1.7 to 3.6 million.[2]
