Costs associated with progression are not well characterized. This study sought to quantify costs and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) associated with NASH progression. <b>Methods:</b> Patients were included if diagnosed with NASH (ICD-10: K75.81) in 100% Medicare claims data (2015-2021) who were ≥66 years at index (diagnosis), continuously enrolled in Parts A, B and D for ≥12 months prior to and 6 months following index (unless death) and who had no evidence of other causes of liver disease. Patient-time was categorized into five severity states: non-cirrhotic NASH, compensated cirrhosis (CC), decompensated cirrhosis (DCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver transplant (LT). Annualized HRU and costs were calculated during the study periods overall and stratified by occurrence and timing of progression. <b>Results:</b> In 14,806 unique patients (n = 12,990 non-cirrhotic NASH; 1899 CC; 997 DCC; 209 HCC; 140 LT), mean age and follow-up were 72.2 and 2.8 years, respectively. Average annualized costs increased from baseline following diagnosis, generally scaling with severity: $16,231 to $27,044; $25,122 to $57,705; $40,613 to $181,036; $36,549 to $165,121 and $35,626 to $108,918 in NASH; CC; DCC; HCC; and LT; respectively. Non-cirrhotic NASH and CC patients with progression had higher follow-up spending (1.6x for NASH; 1.7x for CC) than non-progressors (both p < 0.001), 2.8 and 6.1-times higher odds of an inpatient stay and 2.6 and 3.6-times higher odds to be in the top 20% of spenders, respectively, relative to non-progressors (both p < 0.001). Patients progressing within a year had costs 1.4, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.2-times more than year 2, 3, 4 and 5 progressors' costs, respectively, for non-cirrhotic NASH and 1.3, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2-times more than year 2, 3, 4 and 5 progressors' costs, respectively, for CC. <b>Conclusion:</b> NASH progression is associated with high costs that increase in more severe disease states.

The administration of Acthar via a single-dose prefilled injector (SelfJect™) is intended to simplify its subcutaneous (SC) delivery. The purpose of this review was to determine whether SelfJect is suitable for use in pediatric patients through a literature assessment of various factors, including skin depth, needle length and gauge, dosage, force required for injection, and potential harms. Infants and young children, who commonly have skin-to-muscle distances less than the minimum depth of SelfJect administration, may have risk of unintentional intramuscular (IM) injection; however, an inadvertent IM injection poses no additional risk to children because of the bioequivalence between SC and IM administration of Acthar. The needle gauge of SelfJect is acceptable for pediatric patients and aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for SC injections. The dosage delivered by SelfJect is only appropriate for children over 2 years of age. Although adolescents would likely be able to achieve the minimum force required to remove the protective cap and deliver a full dose of Acthar with SelfJect, an adult (18 years of age and older) should administer SelfJect to pediatric patients. In addition to the commonly reported postmarketing adverse events (AEs) from Acthar administration (e.g., asthenic conditions, fluid retention, insomnia, headache and increased blood glucose), injection site-related AEs common to injection devices may occur with SelfJect use. The risk of needlestick injury from SelfJect is mitigated by a needle guard. In summary, this review of injection device considerations demonstrates that SelfJect is appropriate for use in the pediatric population.</p>","PeriodicalId":15539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of comparative effectiveness research","volume":" ","pages":"e240132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142501581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this study, equal value of life-years (evLYs) and health years in total (HYT) were used. Cost-effectiveness was assessed based on a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per evLY gained (evLYG) or HYT gained (HYTG). <b>Results:</b> Apixaban treatment was associated with gains of 2.23, 1.08 and 1.72 evLYs and 2.26, 1.08 and 1.73 HYTs, compared with warfarin, dabigatran and rivaroxaban, respectively. In the base case analysis from a Medicare perspective, apixaban was cost-effective (i.e., value for money) compared with warfarin, dabigatran and rivaroxaban, with corresponding incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) per evLYG (and HYTG) of $10,501 ($10,350), $7809 ($7769) and $758 ($768), respectively. When a societal perspective was included, and in a scenario analysis using US Medicare data from the Ray <i>et al.</i> study to quantify treatment effects, apixaban dominated rivaroxaban (i.e., less expensive and more effective) in terms of ICER per evLYG (and HYTG). <b>Conclusion:</b> Using dynamic pricing assumptions, treatment with apixaban compared with warfarin, dabigatran and rivaroxaban was associated with incremental evLYs and HYT and represents a cost-effective treatment option in patients with NVAF, from a US healthcare payer (Medicare) perspective.</p>","PeriodicalId":15539,"journal":{"name":"Journal of comparative effectiveness research","volume":" ","pages":"e240163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142739696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
