Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Crystalloid and Crystaloid - Colloid Combination on Dengue Fever Without
Shock in Bhakti Asih General Hospital Tangerang
ABSTRACT
Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by a virus that is transmitted through mosquitoes
Aedes aegypti. The high incidence of dengue fever can cause an increase in the health budget, especially
the cost of drugs and medical consumables during hospitalization. This study was conducted to analyze
the effectiveness and direct medical costs of dengue fever patients without shock in the use of fluid
therapy by comparing the use of crystalloid fluid therapy and the combination of crystalloid and colloid
using the cost-effectiveness analysis method. The study subjects were 171 patients divided into two
groups, 106 patients with crystalloid fluid therapy and 65 patients with crystalloid and colloid combination
therapy. An assessment of the effectiveness of treatment and the calculation of the average direct medical
costs were carried out. The results of the study showed that the effectiveness of treatment was seen from
the improvement in the hematocrit value, there was no difference (p>0, 05) in both study groups. The
average total cost of treatment for crystalloid fluid therapy is IDR 4,005,223 and combined crystalloid and
colloid fluid therapy is IDR 5,525,407. The highest cost was in the cost of drugs with a percentage of 31.75%
of the total cost of crystalloid solutions and 40.9% of the total costs of combined crystalloid and colloid
fluids. There is a significant difference in the mean cost between the two research groups (p<0.05) Value
Average Cost Effectiveness Ratio (ACER) for crystalloid liquid is (Rp 7,868,807) smaller than the combination
of crystalloid and colloid (Rp 9,445,140). There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in direct medical costs
to differences in treatment class, type of patient payment and nutritional status, but not significantly
different (p>0.05) on the effectiveness of treatment. In conclusion, crystalloid solutions have the same
effectiveness as a combination of crystalloid and colloid solutions with lower therapeutic costs.

ABSTRACT
Dengue fever is an infectious disease caused by virus transmitted through Aedes aegypti. The high
incidence of dengue fever can lead to increased healthcare costs. This study was conducted to analyze the
effectiveness and direct cost of medical patients dengue fever without shock use fluid therapy by comparing
crystalloid and crystalloid colloid combination. The subjects were 171 patients divided into two groups: 106
patients with crystalloid and 65 patients with crystalloid colloid combination. Assessed of effectiveness of
treatment and the mean medical costs. The results showed reviewed from hematocrit value no difference
(p>0.05) in both study groups. The mean total cost of treatment for crystalloid is IDR 4,005,223, the crystalloid
colloid combination is IDR 5,525,407. The highest cost of drug costs was 31.75% of the total cost crystalloid, 40.9%
of the total cost crystalloid colloid combination. There was a significant difference between the mean cost and
two study groups (p<0.05). ACER value for crystalloid was Rp 7,868,807 smaller than crystalloid colloid
combination Rp 9,445,140. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the direct medical cost of different
treatment groups, type patient payment, nutritional status, not significantly different (p>0.05) with treatment
effectiveness. Conclusion crystalloid have the sameeffectiveness as crystalloid colloid combination fluids at lower
costs.
