OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness and economics of two antifungal drugs
caspofungin and micafungin in the treatment of invasive candidiasis
so as to provide basis for clinical rational drug use. METHODS: PubMed
Embase
the Cochrane Library
CNKI
CBM and Wanfang Data were retrieved to collect the relevant literature
the retrieval time was from Jan. 2000 to Jan. 2022. Efficacy and safety of capofungin and micafengin in the treatment of invasive candidiasis were analyzed by Meta-analysis. Pharmacoeconomic evaluation of two kinds of drug regimens was performed based on direct medical costs. The stability of results was verified by sensitivity analysis. RESULTS: A total of 4 literature were included in the Meta-analysis
including 2 randomized controlled studies and 2 retrospective analyses. Meta-analysis showed that the safety and efficacy of caspofungin and micafungin in the treatment of invasive candidiasis were similar
the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Results of cost-minimization analysis showed that the cost of capofinnet regimen was 17 195.12 yuan
and the cost of micavennet regimen was 13 601.35 yuan
indicating that micavennet regimen had more economic advantages. CONCLUSIONS: In China
micafungin is more economical than caspofungin in the treatment of invasive candidiasis in adults.
