Popis: PURPOSE: To investigate the cost-effectiveness of prophylactic treatments against cystoid macular edema (CME) after cataract surgery in diabetic patients.SETTING: Seven ophthalmology clinics in the Netherlands and Belgium.DESIGN: Prospective trial-based cost-effectiveness analysis using data from a European multicenter randomized clinical trial.METHODS: Diabetic patients (n=163) undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery were randomized to perioperative subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (n=36), perioperative intravitreal bevacizumab (n=36), combination treatment (n=45), or no additional treatment (control group, n=46). The cost analysis was performed from a healthcare perspective within a 12-week postoperative time horizon. The main effectiveness outcome was quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The main cost-effectiveness outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER; cost per QALY).RESULTS: Mean total healthcare costs and QALYs were: Triamcinolone € 1827 (US$ 2295) / 0.166; Bevacizumab € 2050 (US$ 2575) / 0.144; Combination € 2027 (US$ 2546) / 0.166; Control € 2041 (US$ 2564) / 0.156. Bevacizumab and control treatment were most costly and least effective. The ICER was € 321,984 (US$ 404,503) per QALY for the combination group compared to the triamcinolone group. Assuming the willingness-to-pay is € 20,000 (US$ 25,126) per QALY, the cost-effectiveness probability was 70% and 23% in the triamcinolone and combination groups, respectively. No patient that received triamcinolone developed clinically significant macular edema (CSME). A secondary cost-effectiveness analysis based on this outcome showed a clear preference for triamcinolone.CONCLUSIONS: In diabetic patients, subconjunctival triamcinolone was effective in preventing CSME after cataract surgery. The cost-effectiveness analysis showed triamcinolone is also cost-effective.
