The median US cost for these drugs was $115,281 per patient per year.<\/p>\n<p>Drug expenditures in the US are higher than in any other country and are projected to continue increasing, so US health payers may benefit from evaluating international regulatory and reimbursement decision-making of new drugs. The study&#8217;s findings have important implications for US healthcare professionals and health systems, especially for drugs with limited international market presence. The US can benefit from a close examination of these drugs and highlights the need for the US to review regulatory decisions and health technology assessments of new drugs in other countries to improve access to safe and effective treatments of demonstrated value.<\/p>\n<p>The work of Dr. Seoane-Vazquez and the researchers at Kaiser Permanente is to be celebrated for their dedication and commitment to advancing the field of medicine. Their work is a testament to the importance of research and the impact it can have on improving healthcare for people around the world. The study, &#8220;Assessment of FDA-Approved Drugs Not Recommended for Use or Reimbursement in Other Countries, 2017-2020,&#8221; is published online in JAMA Internal Medicine.\u00a0<a
