Patients were indexed at DLBCL diagnosis and required to have continuous enrollment from 12 months pre-index until 3 months post-index. HCRU and costs (USD 2022) are reported as per-patient per-month (PPPM) estimates.RESULTSA total of 11,893 patients received ≥1-line (L) therapy; 1633 and 391 received ≥2L and ≥3L therapy, respectively. Median (Q1, Q3) age at 1L, 2L, and 3L initiation, respectively, was 76 (71, 81), 77 (72, 82), and 77 (72, 82) years. The most common therapy was R-CHOP (70.9%) for 1L and bendamustine ± rituximab for 2L (18.7%) and 3L (17.4%). CAR T was used by 14.8% of patients in 3L. Overall, 39.6% (1L), 42.1% (2L), and 47.8% (3L) of patients had all-cause hospitalizations. All-cause mean (median [Q1-Q3]) costs PPPM during each line were $22,060 ($20,121 [$16,676-$24,597]) in 1L, $30,027 ($20,868 [$13,416-$31,016]) in 2L, and $47,064 ($25,689 [$15,555-$44,149]) in 3L, with increasing costs driven primarily by inpatient expenses. Total all-cause 3L mean (median [Q1-Q3]) costs PPPM for patients with and without CAR T were $153,847 ($100,768 [$26,534-$253,630]) and $28,466 ($23,696 [$15,466-$39,107]), respectively.CONCLUSIONSNo clear standard of care exists in 3L therapy for older adults with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. The economic burden of DLBCL intensifies with each progressing line of therapy, thus underscoring the need for additional therapeutic options.","PeriodicalId":16229,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Economics","volume":"31 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189215","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}

The probabilities of adverse events (AEs) were dependent on treatment and/or disease status. Analysis 1 compared scenarios of treating 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of patients with first-line ablation and the remainder with AADs. In Analysis 2, scenarios compared the impact of delaying transition to second-line ablation by 1 or 2 years.RESULTSOver 10 years, increasing first-line ablation from 0% to 100% (versus AAD treatment) decreased stroke by 12%, HF hospitalization by 29%, and cardioversions by 45% in both countries. As the rate of first-line ablation increased from 0% to 100%, the overall 10-year per-patient costs increased from €13,034 to €14,450 in Italy and from €11,944 to €16,942 in France. For both countries, the scenario with no delay in second-line ablation had fewer AEs compared to the scenarios where ablation was delayed after AAD failure. Increasing rates of first-line or drug-naïve catheter ablation, and shorter AAT, resulted in higher cumulative controlled patient years on rhythm control therapy.LIMITATIONSThe model includes assumptions based on the best available clinical data, which may differ from real-world results, however, sensitivity analyses were included to combat parameter ambiguity. Additionally, the model represents a payer perspective and does not include societal costs, providing a conservative approach.CONCLUSIONIncreased first-line or drug-naïve catheter ablation, and shorter AAT, could increase the proportion of patients with controlled AF and reduce AEs, offsetting the small investment required in total AF costs over 10 years in Italy and France.","PeriodicalId":16229,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Economics","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189216","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}
