Purpose: Hyperuricemia is a complication arising from tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). Literature has shown that a single 3 mg dose was just as efficacious as a single 6 mg dose when the uric acid (UA) levels were ≤12 mg/dL. Here, we present a multi-center analysis rasburicase utilization and its effect on healthcare costs. Methods: This is a multi-center, retrospective analysis of adult cancer patients who were admitted to Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare hospitals and received rasburicase from February 2020 to February 2021. The primary endpoint was to test whether rasburicase 3 mg had similar rates of uric acid normalization (defined as uric acid ≤7.5 mg/dL) within 24 h as a dose of 6 mg. Results: Seventy-nine patients were included in the study. While the baseline uric acid was lower in the 3 mg arm compared to the 6 mg arms, there was no difference in the uric acid normalization at 24 h between the 3 mg arm (95%) and 6 mg arm (82%) ( p = 0.134). A cost-savings of over $300,000 annually can be achieved with the proposed protocol. Conclusion: A single, fixed rasburicase dose of 3 mg was effective in normalizing uric acid levels within 24 h, and is associated with significant cost-savings. |
