Faricimab versus bevacizumab for neovascular age‐related macular degeneration: Cost analysis based on real‐world data from the Swedish Macula Registry

Faricimab represents a cost-effective alternative to bevacizumab for patients with nAMD in Sweden. Its extended treatment interval is particularly beneficial for patients living far from clinics, and if the real-life faricimab injection interval extends beyond 12 weeks. Our findings emphasize faricimab's potential to free up healthcare staff to treat a larger patient population with existing clinic resources.
