Abstract

to follow-up, ADA-treated patients had significant reductions whereas IMS-treated patients had increases in UC-related hospitalizations and LOS (table). UC-related outpatient service utilization and costs, as well as total inpatient and outpatient service costs, decreased significantly for ADA-treated patients vs. a small increase for IMS-treated patients. ADA-treated patients also had a significantly greater reduction in hospital LOS for colectomy. Conclusions: In this retrospective claims database analysis, ADA therapy was associated with greater reductions in UCrelated hospitalization rates, length of hospitalization for colectomy, and total inpatient and outpatient medical service costs compared with IMS therapy.
