Cost‐Effectiveness of Venom Immunotherapy in Preventing Severe Bee and Wasp Sting Reactions
Allergy, EarlyView.This study evaluates the cost‐effectiveness of Hymenoptera venom depot immunotherapy (HVDI) with Alutard SQ compared to adrenaline auto‐injectors (AAIs) in Denmark. The model incorporates both psychological and physiological benefits to estimate quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs).
