    TLDR Adding baricitinib will increase costs but offers more treatment options for alopecia areata.
    The inclusion of baricitinib in hospital formularies is expected to raise costs from a government hospital perspective in Saudi Arabia. Despite the increased financial impact, it provides more treatment options for patients with alopecia areata (AA) and may lead to better patient outcomes. Further cost-effectiveness analyses are suggested to determine the cost per incremental improvement in outcomes.
