Cost-effectiveness of diagnostic imaging work-up and treatment for patients with intermittent claudication in the Netherlands
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Study population The study population comprised a hypothetical cohort of previously untreated 60-year-old patients presenting with severe unilateral claudication of at least one year in duration, who had at least one significant lesion (>50% arterial diameter reduction) that was located predominantly suprainguinal or infrainguinal, an ankle brachial index pressure of 0.70 and no history of coronary artery disease.

Cost-effectiveness of diagnostic imaging work-up and treatment for patients with intermittent claudication in The Netherlands.
OBJECTIVE to determine the societal cost-effectiveness of various management strategies, including both the diagnostic imaging work-up and treatment, for patients with intermittent claudication in The Netherlands. METHODS a decision-analytic model was used and included probability and quality of life data available from the literature. A cost-analysis was performed in a university setting in ...
متن کاملIntermittent claudication: cost-effectiveness of revascularization versus exercise therapy.
PURPOSE To compare the costs, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of alternative treatment strategies for intermittent claudication. MATERIALS AND METHODS By combining data from the literature and original patient data, a Markov decision model was developed to evaluate the societal cost-effectiveness. Patients presented with previously untreated intermittent claudication, and treatment opti...
متن کاملDesign of the Verbiest trial: cost-effectiveness of surgery versus prolonged conservative treatment in patients with lumbar stenosis
BACKGROUND Degenerative changes of lumbar spine anatomy resulting in the encroachment of neural structures are often regarded progressive, ultimately necessitating decompressive surgery. However the natural course is not necessarily progressive and the efficacy of a variety of nonsurgical interventions has also been described. At present there is insufficient data to compare surgical and nonsur...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy compared with endovascular revascularization for intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as the preferred initial treatment for patients with intermittent claudication. The availability of SET programmes is, however, limited and such programmes are often not reimbursed. Evidence for the long-term cost-effectiveness of SET compared with endovascular revascularization (ER) as primary treatment for intermittent ...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation of Infliximab for Treatment of Refractory Ulcerative Colitis in Iran: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
The aim of this study is to assess cost-effectiveness of infliximab, compared with conventional treatments in patients with moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in Iran. We developed an analytical decision model with a 5-year-time horizon to follow up 1000 hypothetical patients, in order to estimate treatment costs and outcomes. Hypothetical patients, were individuals with moderate to sev...
