STROKE STUDY HIGHLIGHTS – Cost-effectiveness of MLC601 in post-stroke functional recovery compared with placebo – the CHIMES & CHIMES-E studies by Chen CLH, Chai JH, Pokharkar YM, and Venketasubramanian N.
We are pleased to share our recent work on the cost-effectiveness of NeuroAiD in improving functional recovery after stroke! The study compares NeuroAiD on top of standard stroke care with standard stroke care only for patients from a large randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial, the CHInese Medicine Neuroaid Efficacy on Stroke recovery (CHIMES) and its extension (CHIMES-E).
Key findings reveal:
Potential cost-savings of €5,080 and a gain of 0.45 QALYs.
Similar dominance (cost-savings and gain in QALYs) observed in subgroups with poor-prognosis factors.
