Description
Melyda and co-authors weighed the costs and benefits of two hormone treatments after surgery for endometriosis, in a 2024 study tied to the PRE-EMPT trial. Endometriosis is a painful condition where womb-like tissue grows outside the womb, and pain often returns after surgery. The trial compared long-acting hormone options, a coil or an injection, against the daily combined pill.
Four hundred and five women at thirty-four British hospitals took part and were followed for three years. The pill cost about five hundred and thirty-three pounds more per woman and gained a small edge in quality of life. That trade worked out near seventeen thousand pounds per healthy year gained, close to the usual funding limit. Other measures leaned toward the long-acting options, leaving the choice finely balanced.
