The Avalon team helped Inflammatix, Inc., develop economic evidence for HostDx Sepsis test for the diagnosis of acute infections. A newly released publication describes a cost impact model comparing the cost of standard of care versus the use of HostDx Sepsis in two hypothetical arms with 1000 patients presenting with symptoms of ARTI in the Emergency Department of an average US hospital. Compared to standard of care, on average, the HostDx Sepsis test arm showed a 0.80 day reduction in hospital ward length of stay (a 36.7% decrease), 1.49 reduction in days of antibiotic treatment (a 29.5% decrease), and a 1.67% decrease in 30-day mortality rate (a 13.64% decrease). Average cost savings were estimated at $1,974 per patient tested and nearly $2 million for the 1000-patient cohort.” Also see the Inflammatix press release here.
