Objectives: The cost-effectiveness of FF/UMEC/VI vs FF/VI was assessed, from a Canadian public payer perspective. Methods: A validated linked risk equation model (Briggs, Med Decis Making 37;4 2017), which predicts COPD disease progression, associated healthcare costs and health outcomes, was populated with baseline characteristics, efficacy and medication use from IMPACT. Canadian healthcare resource unit costs and drug costs were applied, with future costs and health outcomes discounted at 1.5% annually. Analysis was probabilistic, with a lifetime horizon and outputs including exacerbation rates, costs (2017 CAD), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained and incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) per QALY. Results: Compared with FF/VI, FF/UMEC/VI treatment resulted in fewer moderate and severe exacerbations (10.52 and 3.38 vs 11.13 and 3.48), mean (95% CI) incremental costs and QALYs of $2,598 ($2,010, $3,268) and 0.13 (0.09, 0.18), and an ICER of $19,649 per QALY ($15,406, $26,454). The probability of FF/UMEC/VI being cost-effective vs FF/VI was 100% at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000 per QALY. Results were most sensitive to time horizon, and efficacy of treatment post-discontinuation. Conclusions: FF/UMEC/VI was predicted to improve health outcomes and to be a cost-effective option for treatment of moderate/severe COPD compared with FF/VI, in Canada.","PeriodicalId":243267,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130821562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reports trends in healthcare utilization and healthcare costs and identifies predictors of cost changes. Methods: 1904 COPD patients participated in the baseline and 18 months follow-up visit of the German COSYCONET cohort study. Costs were calculated from a societal perspective. Predictors of changes in direct costs at the follow up visit were identified by gamma regression models using baseline information on GOLD grade, age, sex, education, BMI, smoking status, comorbidity count, years since COPD diagnosis, symptoms, and exacerbation history. Adjusted mean direct costs at baseline and follow-up were obtained through generalized estimating equation model. Results: Inflation adjusted mean annual direct costs increased by 5 % (non-significant). Besides direct costs at baseline, higher baseline COPD grades, a history of severe exacerbations in the previous 12 months and comorbidity count >3 were significantly associated with higher total direct costs at the follow-up visit. No statistically significant effects were found for smoking status, years since COPD diagnosis and symptoms (with the exception of dyspnea). Adjusted mean direct costs increased between baseline and follow-up (except in the case of GOLD grade 4). Nevertheless, selective drop out may have led to an underestimation of cost increase. Conclusions: Our findings underline the importance of managing symptoms, exacerbations and comorbidities in the treatment of COPD patients to control the development of direct healthcare costs of COPD over time.","PeriodicalId":243267,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Economics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125776942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims and objective: To identify and quantify preferences for inhaler attributes in French COPD patients, by using DCE methodology. Methods: Attributes were defined from a literature search, expert and patient interviews. An online DCE with COPD patients aged 40-75, using an inhaler for COPD was conducted. The pilot study included scenarios of two fictitious inhalers described according to the attributes. The COPD Assessment Test and 18 questions on diagnosis, treatment and socio-demographic profile were included. A D-efficient design with zero priors was used. Analyses used a conditional logit model with interactions. Results: Seven inhaler attributes were defined: shape, dose insertion, dose preparation, dose release, dose confirmation, dose counter, and reusability. Twenty-one patients completed the pilot phase, and 5 did cognitive debriefing interviews. The mean CAT score was 27.14 (range 17-40). Results show the most valued characteristics to be dose insertion, dose counter and reusability, with a tendency to prefer fewer dose preparation steps, and reusable inhalers with a dose counter. Conclusion: The pilot results suggest that the selected attributes are relevant to COPD patients in France, and should therefore be taken into account by healthcare professionals considering treatment options. In the full online survey, 150 patients with COPD will be included; will confirm which attributes are most valued for French COPD patients.","PeriodicalId":243267,"journal":{"name":"Ethics and Economics","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128331575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
