The survey was conducted with the questionnaire developed by employees of Bekhterev Psychoneurological Research Institute. The questionnaire contained general questions (gender, age, length of service, specialization, federal district in which the specialist works) and questions about the prospects, opportunities, and challenges of using telemedicine counseling in psychiatry and narcology. The doctors’ willingness to conduct such consultations and refer patients to them was also evaluated. 235 respondents took part in the survey, 55.3% were psychiatrists, narcologists accounted for 31.9%, and the remainder consisted of psychotherapists, medical psychologists and doctors who indicated several specialties.\u0000\u0000Results. Statistically significant differences were found in the evaluation of the usefulness of telemedicine consultations in psychiatry and narcology. Doctors who referred patients before to such consultations rated their usefulness at 3.95 points (on a five-point scale), while doctors without such experience rated their usefulness at 3.0 points. Interviewees also noted the greater effectiveness of video conferences if compared with the flow of medical documents, 3.5 points versus 2.9 points. Number of problems where identified, including the lack of doctors’ awareness about the possibilities of telemedicine, lack of necessary equipment and insufficient drug provision in the regions, which does not allow to implement the recommendations of the consultant in full.\u0000\u0000Conclusion. Organizational and methodological work with telemedicine specialists is necessary, resolving the issue of equipping regional hospitals with equipment and medicines.","PeriodicalId":18386,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technologies.

Access to lenalidomide is generally provided for Russian citizens in the framework of the federal high-cost nosologies program. But expenses for “novel agents” for patients with r/r MM are covered by local regional healthcare systems.\u0000\u0000The aim of this work was to conduct a clinical and economical study of “novel agents” in lenalidomide-based schemes from the perspective of regional healthcare systems of Russian Federation.\u0000\u0000Material and Methods. Based on data from randomized clinical trials of “novel agents” and our own indirect comparison of considered alternatives we proposed a Markov model for progression of r/r MM. In the model, we compared DRd, KRd, IRd, ERd and Rd schemes by calculating average number of life years without progression and direct medical costs from the perspective of regional healthcare systems per 1 patient over 5-year period. Based on the obtained data we conducted cost-effectiveness analysis and estimated cost of an incremental year of life without progression when using “novel agents” vs Rd combination, as well as for DRd scheme vs each of the other “novel agents”.\u0000\u0000Results. Cost of an incremental year of life without progression for DRd scheme vs Rd scheme was 10,402,613 rub., which is 11.5-62.2% lower than for other “novel agents” vs Rd. Cost of an incremental life year without progression for DRd scheme vs IRd scheme was 72.4% lower than for IRd vs Rd. The same ratio for DRd vs KRd was 22.4% lower than for KRd vs Rd. Cost of an incremental life year without progression for DRd scheme vs ERd scheme was not identified because DRd scheme was both less costly and more effective than ERd.\u0000\u0000Conclusions. Treatment of r/r MM with DRd scheme is more cost-effective compared with IRd and KRd schemes, and less costly and more effective than ERd scheme.","PeriodicalId":18386,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technologies.

Markov model was developed in Microsoft Excel 2010 software for cost calculation. 5-year costs of alectinib, crizotinib and ceritinib were calculated, taking into account the differences in clinical effectiveness and safety of the compared drugs. Data about clinical effectiveness and safety were derived from the network meta-analysis Steenrod A. et al, 2018, where alectinib showed superior effectiveness in the first line of therapy for ALK+ NSCLC vs crizotinib and ceritinib: relative risk (RR) of progression-free survival (PFS) was 0,50 (95% confidence interval 0,36–0,70) and 0,41 (0,25–0,67) respectively. Safety of alectinib in the first line therapy was superior to the safety of ceritinib – RR of severe adverse events (SAE)3–4 grade 0,36 (95% CI 0,17–0,79), – and was comparable with safety of chemotherapy and crizotinib – RR of SAE 3–4 grade 0,81 (95% CI 0,44–1,52) and 0,65 (95% CI 0,51–1,04) respectively. Cost effectiveness analyses and budget impact analysis were conducted from the Russian healthcare system perspective.\u0000\u0000Results. Cost of one year course of alectinib was 3 431 970 rubles, which was comparable with crizotinib (3 435 405 rub.) and 55% higher than the one-year cost of ceritinib. Cost-effectiveness ratio was lower for alectinib compared with crizotinib, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for alectinib vs crizotinib was 2 735 900 rub., which was 66% lower than ICER for ceritinib vs crizotinib. Given the number of patients eligible for alectinib, it’s impact on State Guarantees Program of Free Medical Care is not much. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of budget impact assessment are stable.\u0000\u0000Conclusion. Alectinib is a preferred option for patients with ALK+ NSCLC from economic point of view. It doesn’t have a significant impact on the budget within the State Guarantees Program of Free Medical Care, and also has higher effectiveness compared with crizotinib and ceritinib and better safety when compared with ceritinib.","PeriodicalId":18386,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technologies.

A review of international practice of “benefit-risk” ratio assessment in the process of clinical practice guidelines (CPG) development; assessment of its acceptability for Russian Federation.\u0000\u0000Material and methods. We analyzed official methodological guides of the GRADE working group and information from the websites of the professional associations, indicated on the official GRADE website. Additionally, the review of methods of quantitative assessment of risk-benefit ratio was conducted. The search was performed in Pubmed and Embase in April 2019, according to the queries “benefit-risk guidelines”, “balance of benefits and harm”, “risk-benefit guidelines”.\u0000\u0000Results. The “benefit-risk” ratio assessment is an important component in the development of CPG, however, there were no universal transparent methods for it: in foreign CPG, the “benefit-risk” ratio for medical interventions is determined by the expert group consensus. There were also identified quantitative methods for assessing this ratio, currently not used in the process of the CPG development.\u0000\u0000Conclusion. We have not identified universal transparent validated quantitative methods for assessing the “benefit-risk” ratio for medical interventions in CPG. Still many quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative methods for analyzing this ratio were found in the literature. Thus it seems appropriate to analyze international experience further, to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of all assessment systems and to test their acceptability for the development of CPG in the Russian Federation.","PeriodicalId":18386,"journal":{"name":"Medical Technologies.

As an example, the article describes the experience of Kemerovo region on tariff correction using subgroup split-off method for DRG that includes systemic radionuclide therapy with radium-223. Splitting the federal DRG for sub-groups gave the possibility of providing therapy to patients with prostate cancer in the region.

Budget impact analysis was performed in a mathematical model. The modeling period was 5 years. The target population included adult patients with type 2 DM eligible for glucose-lowering therapy with SGLT2i. The number of patients during the modeling period was calculated based on the information about SGLT2i public procurement and the data from the Federal Register of DM (FRDM). The cost of ipragliflozin was calculated on the basis of the price planned for state registration if the drugis included into the VED list (2.118 rubles for 30 tablets, 50 mg each); costs of dapagliflozin and empagliflozin were equal to the registered maximum selling prices plus VAT and the weighted average maximum wholesale allowance in the Russian Federation.

The estimated number of patients treated with SGLT2i was 14.052 in the 1-st year and 47.392 in the 5-th year. The calculated difference in the cost of SGLT2i over 5 years between the current and the expected practice (if ipragliflozin is included into the VED list) was –3.02 million rubles (cost reduction by 0.06%). For the first year, costs decreased by 0.1 million rubles, or 0.02%.\u0000\u0000Conclusion.
