PHARMACOECONOMIC INVESTIGATIONS OF PROPHYLAXIS OF THE PERIOPERATIVE THROMBOTIC COMPLICATIONS BY ENOXAPARIN AND THEIR RELEVANCE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH OF THE REPUBLIC

Thromboembolic complications remain one of the leading causes of the mortality rate among surgical patients. Low molecular weight heparins are currently the most popular prophylactic method despite their high cost. Pharmacoeconomic investigations of heparins are performed in many countries. In these studies pharmacoeconomic advantages of enoxaparin over non-fractionated heparin and warfarin used for prophylaxis in the orthopedic surgery are well demonstrated in the USA, UK, Italy, Canada, and France. There are data about cost-effectiveness of enoxaparin for thromboprophylaxis in general surgery in Sweden and New Zealand. Transfer of the foreign pharmacoeconomic data into the Belarusian public health services meets several pressing problems to take into consideration and requires original pharmacoeconomic investigation.

Keywords: pharmacoeconomic investigation, low molecular weight heparins, enoxaparin.
