-- This is a transversal, retrospective, descriptive study, carried out in the Centro Médico Naval “Santiago Távara” located at Avenida Venezuela s/n, Bellavista Callao, with the purpose of determining and comparing cost-effectiveness of Statins (Atorvastatin 20 mg and Pravastatin 20 mg) against Gemfibrozil 600 mg in hyperlipidemia treatment over a period from January 2002 to July 2005. 64 patient’s clinical record revision, who suffered with dyslipidemia of both genders, who were aged from 40 to 64 years old, attending in external medical service of Cardiology, Endocrinology, Geriatrics and Internal Medicine, was carried out. In order to know patient’s problem of therapy compliance , several inquiries were carried out. In patients with Gemfibrozil prescription, 60% have hypertriglyceridemia associated with alteration of glucose metabolism. Low HDL-c and Obesity or overweight factors risk were found in 90% patients at this group. According to cost-effectiveness analyses (for LDL-c level serumal reduction.), Statins showed a cost-effectiveness ratio of 13,76 Nuevos soles for reduction percentage and Gemfibrozil were not effective , it was not able to establish its cost – effectiveness ratio. When effectiveness is measured for level reduction of triglycerides, the Gemfibrozil showed a cost–effectiveness ratio of 1,74 Nuevos soles for reduction percentage and Statins were not effective , it was not able to establish its cost – effectiveness ratio. When effectiveness is measured for therapeutic objective achievement according to Adults Third Panel ( ATP III ) of the National Cholesterol Education Program ( NCEP 2001 ), Gemfibrozil shows a minor cost – effectiveness ratio ( 361,2 Nuevos soles for patient ), due to its low cost.
