Online Cost-Effectiveness ANalysis (OCEAN) : a user-friendly interface to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses for cervical cancer

Altres ajuts: This work was supported by RecerCaixa (2015ACUP00129). David Moriña acknowledges financial support from [...] and from Fundación Santander Universidades.Most cost-effectiveness analyses in the context of cervical cancer prevention involve the use of mathematical models to simulate HPV infection, cervical disease and prevention strategies. However, it is common for professionals who would need to perform these analyses to not be familiar with the models. This work introduces the Online Cost-Effectiveness ANalysis tool, featuring an easy-to-use web interface providing health professionals, researchers and decision makers involved in cervical cancer prevention programmes with a useful instrument to conduct complex cost-effectiveness analyses, which are becoming an essential tool as an approach for supporting decision-making that involves important trade-offs. The users can run cost-effectiveness evaluations of cervical cancer prevention strategies without deep knowledge of the underlying mathematical model or any programming language, obtaining the most relevant costs and health outcomes in a user-friendly format. The results provided by the tool are consistent with the existing literature. Having such a tool will be an asset to the cervical cancer prevention community, providing researchers with an easy-to-use instrument to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses

Cervical cancer prevention in Morocco : a model-based cost-effectiveness analysis

Altres ajuts: CERCA Programme/Generalitat de CatalunyaObjective: Cervical cancer is a huge public health issue in Morocco which represents the second most frequent and fatal cancer among women. Countries that have not yet introduced the HPV vaccine could benefit greatly, but before implementation it is necessary to perform country-specific economic assessments that include current screening practices. Methods: A Markov model was developed to simulate the natural history of HPV and cervical cancer so as to calculate the long-term health benefits and costs of HPV vaccination and current screening by visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA). Starting from a previous transition probability matrix used for a model from Spain, the present model was calibrated to cervical cancer incidence from Morocco. Cost survey data was used to estimate the cost of screening and clinical procedures from the public healthcare perspective. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were calculated as 2018U

Modelos de coste-efectividad en la prevención del cáncer de cuello de útero en países en desarrollo

INTRODUCCIÓN: Introducir la vacunación del Virus del Papiloma Humano (VPH) en un programa nacional de inmunización no es trivial y depende de múltiples factores tales como la carga de la enfermedad, la eficacia de la vacuna, el coste-efectividad o su viabilidad. Los análisis económicos son un componente común del proceso de decisión en los países industrializados. Sin embargo, aunque cada vez se utilizan más este tipo de análisis en los países menos desarrollados, la alta incidencia de cáncer de cuello de útero (CCU) es la que ha llevado a considerar la introducción de la vacuna del VPH. OBJETIVO: Evaluar el impacto sanitario y económico de la vacunación contra los VPHs 16 y 18 en niñas preadolescentes y ayudar a la toma de decisiones en países en desarrollo METODOLOGÍA: Se han llevado a cabo una serie de análisis utilizando dos modelos analíticos en función de los datos disponibles: modelo de microsimulación y modelo simple de cohortes. CONCLUSIÓN: La vacunación contra los VPHs 16 y 18 se considera una estrategia efectiva para reducir tanto la carga en salud como económica producida por el CCU, pero el coste-efectividad depende en gran medida de algunas asunciones sobre las vacunas como la eficacia o la duración de la protección y sobretodo del coste, además de la capacidad de cada país para administrar la vacuna a niñas antes de las edades con mayor riesgo de infección.BACKGROUND: Introducing Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in a national immunization programme is not straightforward and depends on multiple factors, including disease burden, vaccine effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and affordability of the vaccination program. The economic analyses are a common component of the decision process in industrialized countries. However, although cost-effectiveness analyses are increasingly used in less developed countries, the burden of cervical cancer has clearly led the consideration of the HPV vaccine introduction. OBJECTIVE: To assess the health and economic impact of the HPV 16 and 18 vaccination of pre-adolescents girls and to assist decision makers in less developed countries. METHODOLOGY: A series of analyses have been conducted using two models depending on the data available: micro-simulation model and simple cohort model. CONCLUSION: HPV 16 and 18 vaccination would be considered an effective strategy to reduce the health and economic burden of cervical cancer, but the cost-effectiveness depends on some vaccine assumptions such as the efficacy and the duration of protection and mostly on cost, in addition to the ability of the countries to reach girls before the ages at the highest risk of infection

Cost-effectiveness of strategies to increase screening coverage for cervical cancer in Spain : the CRIVERVA study

The aim of the study is to carry out a cost-effectiveness analysis of three different interventions to promote the uptake of screening for cervical cancer in general practice in the county of Valles Occidental, Barcelona, Spain. Women aged from 30 to 70 years (n = 15,965) were asked to attend a general practice to be screened. They were randomly allocated to one of four groups: no intervention group (NIG); one group where women received an invitation letter to participate in the screening (IG1); one group where women received an invitation letter and informative leaflet (IG2); and one group where women received an invitation letter, an informative leaflet and a phone call reminder (IG3). Clinical effectiveness was measured as the percentage increase in screening coverage. A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed from the perspective of the public health system with a time horizon of three to five years - the duration of the randomised controlled clinical trial. In addition, a deterministic sensitivity analysis was performed. Results are presented according to different age groups. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for the most cost-effective intervention, IG1, compared with opportunistic screening was € 2.78 per 1% increase in the screening coverage. The age interval with the worst results in terms of efficiency was women aged < 40 years. In a population like Catalonia, with around 2 million women aged 30 to 70 years and assuming that 40% of these women were not attending general practice to be screened for cervical cancer, the implementation of an intervention to increase screening coverage which consists of sending a letter would cost on average less than € 490 for every 1000 women.
