The objective of this study is to perform an economic evaluation analyzing the treatment with atorvastatin and sinvastatin in comparison to placebo treatment, within the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (SUS) scenario, for patients with high risk of cardiovascular disease; analyzing if the additional cost related to statin treatment is justified by the clinical benefits expected, in terms of cardiovascular event and mortality reduction. Cardiovascular event risk and mortality risk were used as outcomes. Statin efficacy at LDL-c and cardiovascular events levels lowering data was obtained from a critical literature review. A decision analytic model was developed to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing atorvastatin 10mg/day and sinvastatin 40mg/day to placebo treatment in patients with dyslipidemia in Brazil. The target population of this study was a hypothetic cohort of men and women with a mean age of 50 years old and high risk of cardiovascular disease. The model includes only direct costs obtained from Ambulatory and Hospital Information System and Price Database of Brazilian Ministry of Health. The comparative cost-effectiveness analysis itself was done through Excel spreadsheets covering a 5 or 30-years time horizon. The result shows that atorvastatin 10mg/day in comparison to placebo has higher cost with higher effectiveness in the time horizon of 5 and 30 years. The sinvastatin 40mg/day appears to be a strategy with lower cost and higher effectiveness in comparison to placebo, in both times horizon analyzed. The budget impact analysis shows that the use of sinvastatin 40mg/day, in patients with high risk of cardiovascular disease, leads to a cost minimization in comparison to the use of atorvastatin 10mg/day. The treatment with sinvastatin is responsible for an economy of, approximately, BRL1.1 billion in comparison to treatment with placebo. Otherwise, the treatment with atorvastatin leads to an additional cost of, approximately, BRL118.6 billions in comparison to the treatment with placebo.
