Healthcare Costs and Resource Utilization in Patients with Infantile Spasms Treated with H.P. Acthar Gel ®
Conclusion
Patients prescribed Acthar within 30 days of their IS diagnoses tended to have fewer outpatient services performed compared to patients prescribed Acthar later in the disease process. Although additional research is needed to confirm these exploratory findings, physicians may consider early treatment with Acthar to manage IS.
