Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
[Comparative study of hospital costs associated with human albumin 20% (Vialebex 20%) or polygeline as a fluid resuscitation strategy for cirrhotic ascites].
To compare the hospital costs associated with two fluid resuscitation strategies for cirrhotic ascites: one with human albumin 20% (Vialebex 20%) and one with polygeline. ⋯ The economic results of this trial favor a fluid resuscitation strategy that uses human albumin 20% for cirrhotic patients. They are consistent with the clinical results and help assess the cost-benefit ratio of human albumin 20% for this indication.
