潮热是更年期的主要症状，可以用激素和非激素处方药治疗。然而，考虑到美国每天有6000名妇女进入更年期，其中许多妇女有症状，这些治疗的费用可能是一个重大的公共卫生问题。我们评估了激素和非激素处方治疗潮热的年度个人和人口成本。成本信息可能有助于临床医生和消费者做出治疗决定。
Hot flashes are the cardinal symptom of menopause and can be treated with hormonal and nonhormonal prescription medications. However, considering that 6000 women enter menopause daily in the USA, and many of these women are symptomatic, the costs of these treatments can be a significant public health issue. We evaluated annual individual and population costs of hormonal and nonhormonal prescription treatments for hot flashes. Cost information may be helpful to clinicians and consumers in making treatment decisions.
