Medialis Ltd is proud to present our latest publication: “Real-world service cost’s for neovascular-AMD clinics in the United Kingdom: Structured literature review and scenario analysis” in Current Medical Research & Opinions Real-world Evidence section
Key Highlights:
- Innovative Use of Neutral Theory & Jandhyala Method: We leveraged these advanced methodologies to develop the nAMD Service Non-Drug Cost Instrument (nAS), providing groundbreaking evidence for the inclusion of non-drug costs in cost-effectiveness assessments.
- Comprehensive Analysis: Our study identified and analyzed 237 real-world non-drug service cost items, of which 217 met the consensus threshold and were included in the nAS.
- Impact on Cost-Effectiveness Assessments: Findings revealed that current Health Technology Assessments (HTA) underestimate the true cost burden of UK NHS nAMD clinics. Our scenario analysis estimated annual per-patient clinic costs ranging from £845 to £13960, highlighting the substantial additional expenses due to operational strain.
- Relevance to Policy & Practice: This research underscores the need to consider non-drug costs, particularly under strain conditions, in the cost-effectiveness evaluations of anti-VEGF treatments for nAMD. Durability and robustness of treatments emerge as crucial factors in these assessments.
Conclusion: The inclusion of non-drug costs in CEA is essential for a more accurate representation of the financial burden on healthcare services. This study marks a significant step towards more comprehensive and realistic economic evaluations in ophthalmology.
