摘要

背景:有证据表明,社区药剂师主导的2型糖尿病(T2DM)干预可以改善临床结果,如糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、血压和血脂,从而降低心血管并发症的风险。然而,有限的研究评估了这种干预措施的经济价值,特别是在伊朗的背景下。目的:鉴于缺乏设计良好的研究来评估社区药剂师为基础的干预措施在预防伊朗2型糖尿病患者心血管并发症方面的成本效益,本研究旨在评估这种干预措施的经济和临床影响。社区药剂师提供的标准治疗作为比较。方法:本研究在社区药房进行了超过12个月。共有110例T2DM患者入组,其中55例接受常规治疗(比较组),55例接受结构化的药剂师主导的干预。干预包括药物优化、生活方式咨询和饮食指导,重点是降低心血管风险。从医疗保健系统的角度进行经济评估,使用马尔可夫模型超过10年的时间范围。结果包括获得的生命年(LYG)和10年心血管事件风险的降低。考虑了干预组和比较组的直接医疗费用。结果:与对照组相比,药师主导的干预显著降低了患者的平均HbA1c水平(p = 0.009),改善了HDL胆固醇水平(p = 0.016),降低了LDL胆固醇水平(p = 0.05)。干预组的收缩压也有统计学意义的改善(p = 0.003),而比较组的收缩压升高。在干预组中,估计10年冠心病(CHD)和中风(致命性和非致命性)的风险较低。成本效益分析显示,与常规护理相比,该干预措施节省了-1469.02美元的成本,并增加了0.045年的生命年。结论:研究结果表明,社区药剂师主导的针对T2DM患者心血管风险降低的干预措施具有临床效果和成本效益。在伊朗,将药剂师纳入糖尿病护理计划可能会显著改善心血管结局,同时降低长期医疗保健费用。

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a community pharmacist-based intervention to prevent cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a community pharmacist-based intervention to prevent cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a community pharmacist-based intervention to prevent cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a community pharmacist-based intervention to prevent cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in Iran.

Background: Evidence suggests that community pharmacist-led interventions in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can improve clinical outcomes such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure, and lipid profiles, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications. However, limited research has evaluated the economic value of such interventions, particularly in the context of Iran.

Objective: Given the absence of well-designed studies assessing the cost-effectiveness of community pharmacist-based interventions in preventing cardiovascular complications among patients with T2DM in Iran, this study aimed to evaluate the economic and clinical impact of such an intervention. Standard care provided by community pharmacists served as the comparator.

Methods: This study was conducted over 12 months in a community pharmacy setting. A total of 110 patients with T2DM were enrolled, with 55 receiving usual care (comparator group) and 55 receiving a structured pharmacist-led intervention. The intervention included medication optimization, lifestyle counseling, and dietary guidance, with a focus on reducing cardiovascular risk. Economic evaluation was performed from the healthcare system perspective using a Markov model over a 10-year time horizon. Outcomes included life years gained (LYG) and reduction in the 10-year risk of cardiovascular events. Direct medical costs for both the intervention and comparator groups were considered.

Results: Pharmacist-led interventions significantly reduced average HbA1c levels (p = 0.009), improved HDL cholesterol (p = 0.016), and lowered LDL cholesterol (p = 0.05) in the intervention group compared to the comparator. SBP also showed a statistically significant improvement in the intervention group (p = 0.003), while the comparator group experienced an increase in SBP. The estimated 10-year risks for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, both fatal and nonfatal, were lower in the intervention group. The cost-effectiveness analysis revealed that the intervention resulted in a cost saving of -1469.02 USD and an additional 0.045 life years gained compared to usual care.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that community pharmacist-led interventions targeting cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with T2DM are both clinically effective and cost-efficient. Incorporating pharmacists into diabetes care programs may significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes while reducing long-term healthcare costs in Iran.

期刊介绍: Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of cost-effectiveness analysis, including conceptual or methodological work, economic evaluations, and policy analysis related to resource allocation at a national or international level. Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation is aimed at health economists, health services researchers, and policy-makers with an interest in enhancing the flow and transfer of knowledge relating to efficiency in the health sector. Manuscripts are encouraged from researchers based in low- and middle-income countries, with a view to increasing the international economic evidence base for health.
