Abstract
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant health burden in Indonesia, with high antibiotic therapy costs in BPJS inpatients. This study aims to analyze the cost-effectiveness of ciprofloxacin versus levofloxacin in BPJS inpatient UTI patients at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital from January to June 2025. This study used retrospective quantitative descriptive research with secondary data from medical and financial records; the population of all cases met the criteria (n=127) using total sampling. Data extraction instruments were demographic variables, effectiveness (temperature, length of hospitalization), and direct medical costs; CEA analysis via ACER, ICER, and Mann-Whitney test (p0.05). Conclusion: Both therapies are economically equivalent, supporting the optimization of JKN.
