Key Points

  • This analysis aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the Aptima test relative to the PCR DNA test for HPV screening.
  • Comparative cost-effectiveness analysis based on screening strategies
  • Focus on women over 30 years old
  • Contextual analysis within the Colombian health system
  • Aptima test demonstrates increased cost-effectiveness compared to PCR, improving screening efficiency
  • Implementation of the Aptima test can optimize resource allocation in HPV prevention
  • Overall reduction in long-term healthcare costs associated with HPV-related conditions

Abstract

The Aptima test represents a cost-effective strategy for screening HPV infection in women over 30 years of age, compared with the polymerase chain reaction DNA test, within the context of the Colombian health system.
