Project Summary

The objective of this study is to estimate the cost-utility analysis of the cholinesterase inhibitors (i.e., donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine) compared with no drug treatment in patients with mild to moderate alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Thailand based on the societal and governmental perspectives and to estimate the budget impact of the cholinesterase inhibitors when including these drugs on the national list of essential drugs (NLED) for precribing to mild to moderate AD patients. In addition, this study also investigates the experiences and perspectives of family caregivers and medical doctors in order to understand the overall context of AD in Thailand. The results can be used as a guideline or as data for health policy makers to determine which treatment should be included in the NLED to be given to mild to moderate AD patients.
