Abstract

To date few industry-independent studies were conducted to compare the relative costs and benefits of drugs to treat MRSA infection. We performed a stochastic cost-effectiveness analysis comparing two treatment strategies -- linezolid versus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole plus rifampicin -- for the treatment of MRSA infection.
