- Summary:
- Health Canada recently licensed Octaplas, which can now be considered as an alternative to standard fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for certain indications. Since, on average, 200,000 units of FFP are transfused annually in Canada, the widespread implementation of Octaplas may have significant public health and economic implications. This study investigates the cost-effectiveness position of Octaplas against standard FFP and its budgetary impact to the health care system.
