Healthcare Resource Utilization and Health-related Quality of Life in Adult Patients with Chronic Migraine: Results from the PREDICT Study
This Medfyle was published more than two years ago. More recent Medfyle on this topic may now be available.
Key messages
- This analysis evaluated outcomes including healthcare resource utilization (HRU), HRQoL, and safety in CM patients treated with onabotulinumtoxinA from the PREDICT study on real-world long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Canadian patients with chronic migraine (CM) treated with onabotulinumtoxin A.
- Real-world findings from the PREDICT study demonstrate that treatment with onabotulinumtoxin A in the Canadian population is associated with improvements in HrQoL and reductions in HRU, including headache-related diagnostic testing, headache-related visits to a healthcare provider, ER and urgent care visits, and total number of hospital admissions.
- These data support the long-term benefits associated with the use of onabotulinumtoxin A for treatment of CM in clinical practice.
