Abstract

This paper estimates the incremental cost‐effectiveness of providing antenatal anti‐D prophylaxis in varying dose sizes to either primigravidae or all Rh D negative women. It presents a model for calculating the net cost per 1000 ‘at risk’ women based on the costs of anti‐D prophylaxis and the future NHS costs avoided. Incremental cost‐effectiveness is measured in terms of the net cost per Rh D‐alloimmunization and the net cost per Rh HD loss prevented. Programmes for Rh D negative primigravidae are more cost‐effective than the same dose protocol extended to all Rh D negative women. The 1 × 1250 iu programme is the most cost‐effective option.
