Authors' recommendations: Although infliximab and adalimumab have been shown to provide clinical benefit, the costs associated with these treatments could be perceived as high. Based on the incremental cost-utility findings from our primary economic evaluations, adalimumab and infliximab for the treatment of IBD may not be perceived to be a cost-effective use of health care resources.
