Cost-utility analysis of ciclesonide and budesonide in the treatment of mild to moderate bronchial asthma
To evaluate the cost-utility of ciclesonide (CIC) versus budesonide (BUD) for the maintenance treatment of mild to moderate bronchial asthma.
METHODS
2
From the perspective of Chinese health service system, a Markov model was established based on the data from a clinical trial in China and some literature. The cycle length was 1 week, the time horizon was 60 years. A discount rate of 5% per year was applied. Cost-utility analysis was performed on therapeutic scheme of CIC and BUD using three times of China’s per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 2023 as the threshold of willing-to-pay (WTP). One-way sensitivity analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were applied to test the uncertainty of basic analysis.
RESULTS
2
Compared with BUD scheme, the incremental cost of the CIC scheme was 9 401.67 yuan, and the incremental quality-adjusted life years(QALYs) were 0.001 3; incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was 6 928 868.26 yuan/QALY, far beyond the threshold of WTP 268 074 yuan/QALY. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the usage, dosage and unit price of CIC and BUD were parameters that had a significant impact on ICER; probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the basic analysis results were relatively robust; scenario analysis showed that, when the price of CIC reduced to 159.95 yuan/branch, the probability of CIC scheme having economics was similar to that of BUD scheme.
CONCLUSIONS
2
At the current price, CIC is not economical compared with BUD for the maintenance treatment of mild to moderate asthma, using three times of China’s GDP in 2023 as the threshold of WTP.
