6.2.5. Valutazioni economiche sugli interventi<br />

con farmaci<br />

Tre studi indicano come gli alfabloccanti abbiano un costo minore rispetto alla terapia<br />

con finasteride [1, 2, 3]. Tuttavia tutti e tre sono modellizzazioni che si basano sui dati della<br />

linea guida dell’AHCPR [4] e non considerano in modo adeguato, come sottolineato da<br />

Albertsen [5], la ritenzione acuta urinaria e la dimensione della prostata. La modellizzazione<br />

di Johnson [1], inoltre, tiene anche conto del positivo effetto antipertensivo del doxazosina.<br />

Tuttavia il modello dovrebbe essere rivisto dopo che lo studio ALLHAT [6], ha mostrato un<br />

eccesso di eventi avversi nei pazienti trattati con doxazosina. Infine, in contrasto con questi<br />

risultati, il lavoro di Albertsen [5] mostrerebbe come la finasteride sia meno costosa della<br />

terazosina nel caso delle prostate di maggiore volume.<br />
