Impact of CytoSorb Hemoadsorption Therapy on Cost-Effectiveness and Length of Stay in Critical Care Patients: A Preliminary Study from a Swiss High-Volume Center
This study provides the first real-world evidence for the cost-effectiveness of CytoSorb hemoadsorption in septic shock, showing reduced ICU length of stay and improved financial outcomes, without increasing treatment costs or nursing workload. These findings challenge the perception of hemoadsorption as a cost driver and highlight its potential to optimize resource use in critical care. Further multicenter studies are needed to inform reimbursement strategies and integration into sepsis treatment protocols.
