In this analysis the authors used health economics assessment data collected during the QUAlity of LIfe with AbiliFY Maintena (QUALIFY) study, a randomized head-to-head study of aripiprazole once-monthly 400 mg (AOM 400) compared with paliperidone palmitate (PP; 78–234 mg/mo), to determine the direct medical and pharmacy costs and the cost-effectiveness associated with each treatment over 6 months. The authors concluded that the analysis of data from stabilized patients with schizophrenia in the QUALIFY study indicated that AOM 400 is associated with lower health-care costs and greater effectiveness compared with PP and thus represents the economically dominant strategy.
