Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Colorectal Cancer Screening Strategies in Singapore: A Dynamic Decision Analytic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dynamic decision analytic framework using local statistics and expert's opinions is put to study the cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening strategies in Singapore. It is demonstrated that any of the screening strategies, if implemented, would increase the life expectancy of the population of 50 to 70 years old. The model also determined the normal life expectancy of this population to be 76.32 years. Overall, Guaiac Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is most cost effective at SGD162.11 per life year saved per person. Our approach allowed us to model problem parameters that change over time and study the utility measures like cost and life expectancy for specific age within the range of 50- 69 through to 70 years old.

Colorectal cancer screening with blood-based biomarkers: cost-effectiveness of methylated septin 9 DNA versus current strategies.
BACKGROUND Screening reduces colorectal cancer mortality, but many persons remain unscreened. Screening with a blood test could improve screening rates. We estimated the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening with emerging biomarkers, illustrated by a methylated Septin 9 DNA plasma assay ((m)SEPT9), versus established strategies. METHODS We conducted a...
متن کاملScreening based on risk for colorectal cancer is the most cost-effective approach.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Performing single endoscopic examinations or selective screening based on risk might be more practical than recommended screening strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the cost effectiveness of these strategies, under real-life conditions of suboptimal compliance, and the societal cost perspective. METHODS We used Markov modeling to analyze data from 787,00...
متن کاملFiltering strategies in mass population screening for colorectal cancer: an economic evaluation.
On the basis of clinical trial data, 13 strategies for initial screening (filtering) for colorectal cancer are modeled for the purpose of economic evaluation. A wide range of detection cost estimates are generated, although ranking options by detection cost ignores the important consideration of undetected cancers. Formulating the problem as one of cost-effectiveness, however, allows the author...

BACKGROUND Although the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is the preferred program for colorectal cancer screening in Japan, many medical institutions have recently begun to provide total colonoscopy (TCS) as an initial screening program. However, there are a number of severe risks associated with TCS, such as colorectal bleeding and perforation. The justification for performing such a procedure o...

Background: Epidemiological studies are shown robust association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. From 1990 HPV was known as a necessary but insufficient cause of cervical invasive cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of HPV test in cervical cancer screening. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review article; the newest scienti...
