Abstract: Objective To study the validity and affordability between joint venture entercavier and domestic entercavier in treating patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods 65 patients with chronic hepatitis B were select who were treated with entercavier between Oct. 2009 to Oct.2010 in Ningbo No. 2 Hospital expert outpatient service. These patients were divide into group A (33 cases) and B(32 cases). Group A was treated with joint venture entecavier and group B was treated with domestic ones. all patients were given 0.5 mg daily and treated for 48 weeks. The cost-minimization analysis was made between two groups. Results ALT recovery rate, HBV-DNA negative conversion rate and HBeAg serum conversion rate had no statistically significant between two groups (P>0.05), but the cost of group A was 12 028.8, and the cost of group B was 7 996.8. Conclusions The domestic entecavier was better than the joint venture entecavier in treating the patients with chronic hepatitis B by cost-minimization analysis.
