kuwait
and the united arab emirates (uae) from a healthcare payer’s perspective. methods: a global decision tree model was adapted to compare estimated costs in current practice (extensively hydrolyzed formula [ehf] or soy formula [sf] with the proposed approach of early introduction of aaf as first-line treatment of cmpa in non-breast-fed infants. model inputs were derived from explorative literature reviews and medical experts’ opinions. all costs were reported in local currency
i.e.
saudi riyal (sar) for ksa
kuwaiti dinar (kwd) for kuwait
and united arab emirates dirham (aed) for the uae. results: cost savings with the early introduction of aaf were 10% (sar 15

17% (aed 1
