Health technology assessment of nailfold capillaroscopy and digital retina imaging in diabetes screening
Aim
This study aims to identify the criteria for the evaluation of medical technologies in diabetes screening and then perform health technology assessment (HTA) for two technologies: digital retina imaging (DRI) and Nailfold Capillaroscopy (NFC).
Methods
A multicriteria decision-making tool measuring attractiveness using a categorical-based evaluation technique (MACBETH) was used to calculate and compare alternatives. A focus group of ten decision-makers with more than ten years of experience in health technology was used for the decision-making. The Delphi Method was used to get a consensus about comparing criteria and alternatives to these criteria. The sampling method used in the study was the nonprobability purposive sampling method.
Results
The study concluded that clinical efficacy (0.42) is the most important criterion for evaluating medical technologies, followed by cost-effectiveness (0.27). At the same time, ethical considerations were found to be less important (0.03). The sensitivity analysis concluded that the decision is sensitive to clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness changes. The study found that none of the alternatives dominates others as an option for early detection of diabetes through vascular changes.
Limitations
This study primarily uses systemic literature review methods to identify criteria for evaluating alternatives. There may be additional criteria for evaluation.
Conclusion
This study provides an approach for a multicriteria comparison of medical devices. The study findings are useful for public health professionals and health policymakers.
Plain language summary
This study assesses nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) as a substitute for digital retina imaging (DRI) in diabetes screening using the MACBETH multicriteria decision-making tool. The research identifies five key evaluation criteria: clinical efficacy, cost-effectiveness, patient needs, user safety, and ethical considerations. A focus group of experienced health technology decision-makers was used to compare NFC and DRI. Results indicate that clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness are the most critical factors, with NFC showing potential but not significantly outperforming DRI. Sensitivity analyses highlight the need for further research to validate NFC as an effective diabetes screening tool.
期刊介绍:
Health Policy and Technology (HPT), is the official journal of the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine (FPM), a cross-disciplinary journal, which focuses on past, present and future health policy and the role of technology in clinical and non-clinical national and international health environments.
HPT provides a further excellent way for the FPM to continue to make important national and international contributions to development of policy and practice within medicine and related disciplines. The aim of HPT is to publish relevant, timely and accessible articles and commentaries to support policy-makers, health professionals, health technology providers, patient groups and academia interested in health policy and technology.
Topics covered by HPT will include:
- Health technology, including drug discovery, diagnostics, medicines, devices, therapeutic delivery and eHealth systems
- Cross-national comparisons on health policy using evidence-based approaches
- National studies on health policy to determine the outcomes of technology-driven initiatives
- Cross-border eHealth including health tourism
- The digital divide in mobility, access and affordability of healthcare
- Health technology assessment (HTA) methods and tools for evaluating the effectiveness of clinical and non-clinical health technologies
- Health and eHealth indicators and benchmarks (measure/metrics) for understanding the adoption and diffusion of health technologies
- Health and eHealth models and frameworks to support policy-makers and other stakeholders in decision-making
- Stakeholder engagement with health technologies (clinical and patient/citizen buy-in)
- Regulation and health economics
