[Cost-effective approach to the screening of HIV, HBV, HCV, HTLV in blood donors in France].

In order to provide greater safety in blood transfusions, public health authorities have imposed the use of screening tests. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the cost-effectiveness ratios of the screening test used in France. Four risks were studied: HIV, HBV, HCV and HTLV. Two efficiency measures were used: cost per positive blood donation detected and cost per case of prevented infection transmission. Moreover, for HTLV alone, the efficiency was estimated by the cost per prevented pathology. Data concerning the costs were provided by the French Blood Agency; those concerning the results of the screening campaigns were provided by the official health authorities, the other data used in the calculations were drawn either from the French Blood Agency data or from a review of international literature. Results gave information about the expenditure devoted to the screening of virologic risks associated with blood transfusion in France (250 million francs per year for the four viruses studied). They stressed the differences in screening efficiency according to the test studied (the cost by prevented seroconversion varied from 31,795 francs for HBV, 72,180 francs for HCV, 676,596 francs for HIV to 6,137,346 francs for HTLV screening test in the base case) and especially the very low efficiency of the systematic screening of the HTLV virus (from 34 to 307 million francs per prevented leukemia).
