Assessment of clinical effectiveness wascarried out by looking at the day’s duration until the symptoms of nausea and vomiting stopped. Furthermore, a cost analysiswas carried out by calculating the average direct medical costs associated with the HG’s condition.Result: The effectiveness of both antiemetics was not statistically significant (p = 0.370). The average cost per patient withondansetron compared to metoclopramide was not significantly different (p = 0,966).Conclusion: There was no difference in the effectiveness and cost of ODN versus MCP for the treatment of hyperemesisgravidarum. |
