Genicular artery embolization (GAE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are emerging adjunctive or alternative minimally invasive treatments. <b>Objective:</b> To perform a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) comparing CS, GAE, and RFA, for treatment of symptomatic KOA using a Markov model based on a de novo network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized control trials. <b>Methods:</b> CEA was conducted to compare GAE and RFA to CS using a Markov cohort state-transition model from a U.S. Medicare payer's perspective over a 4-year time horizon. The model incorporated each treatment's success and attrition rates, costs, and utility benefit. Utility benefit values were derived at short-term (0.5-3 months) and long-term (6-12 months) posttreatment follow-up from NMA of published RCTs using an outcome of improved knee pain and/or function. Analyses were conducted at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). Sensitivity analyses were performed, including when simulating various cost setting scenarios (i.e., office vs hospital outpatient treatment). <b>Results:</b> RFA demonstrated larger treatment effect than GAE, more pronounced at short-term [standardized mean difference (SMD), -1.6688, 95% CI [-2.7806; -0.5571], p=.003] than long-term (SMD -0.3822, 95% CI [-1.9743; 1.2100], p=.64) follow-up. Across cost setting scenarios, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios relative to CS were $561-1563/QALY for GAE versus $76-429/QALY for RFA (not counting scenarios in which RFA was dominated by CS). GAE demonstrated higher cost-effectiveness probability compared to RFA (41.6-54.8% vs. 18.4-29.2%, respectively). GAE was more cost-effective than RFA when the GAE clinical success rate and post-GAE utility value exceeded 32.1-51.0% and 0.562-0.617, respectively, and when the GAE quarterly attrition rate was less than 8.8-17.4%. RFA was more cost-effective when baseline pre-treatment utility values exceeded 0.695-0.713. Neither GAE costs nor RFA costs were sensitive parameters. <b>Conclusion:</b> Across scenarios, GAE was consistently the most likely cost-effective treatment option compared to RFA and CS, although clinical success rates, attrition rates, and utility values impact its cost-effectiveness. <b>Clinical Impact:</b> GAE is likely to be more cost-effective than RFA or CS for treatment of symptomatic KOA.</p>","PeriodicalId":55529,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Roentgenology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
