We constructed a decision-analytic and cost-minimization model to compare monthly maternal serological screening for congenital toxoplasmosis, prenatal treatment, and post-natal follow-up and treatment according to the current French protocol, versus no systematic screening or perinatal treatment. Costs are based on published estimates of lifetime societal costs of developmental disabilities and current diagnostic and treatment costs. Probabilities are based on published results and clinical practice in the United States and France. We use sensitivity analysis to evaluate robustness of results. We find that universal monthly maternal screening for congenital toxoplasmosis with follow-up and treatment, following the French (Paris) protocol, leads to savings of 620perchildscreened.Resultsarerobusttochangesintestcosts,valueofstatisticallife,seroprevalenceinwomenofchildbearingage,fetallossduetoamniocentesis,incidenceofprimaryT.gondiiinfectionduringpregnancy,andtobivariateanalysisoftestcostsandincidenceofprimaryT.gondiiinfection.Giventheparametersinthismodelandamaternalscreeningtestcostof12, screening is cost-saving for rates of congenital infection above 1 per 10,000 live births.
