Faecal occult blood testing (FOBT), flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) and colonoscopy are recommended for subjects above 50 years of age for screening for colorectal cancer (CRC).
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of FOBT, FS and colonoscopy on the basis of disease prevalence, compliance rate and cost of screening procedures in Asian countries.
A hypothetical population of 100 000 persons aged 50 undergoes either FOBT annually, FS every 5 years or colonoscopy every 10 years until the age of 80 years. Patients with positive FOBT or polyp in FS are offered colonoscopy. Surveillance colonoscopy is repeated every 3 years. The treatment cost of CRC, including surgery and chemotherapy, was evaluated. A Markov model was used to compare the cost-effectiveness of different screening strategies.
Assuming a compliance rate of 90%, colonoscopy, FS and FOBT can reduce CRC incidence by 54.1%, 37.1% and 29.3% respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for FOBT (US$6222 per life-year saved) is lower than FS (US$8044 per life-year saved) and colonoscopy (US$7211 per life-year saved). When the compliance rate drops to 50% and 30%, FOBT still has the lowest ICER.
FOBT is cost-effective compared to FS or colonoscopy for CRC screening in average-risk individuals aged from 50 to 80 years.
对于50岁以上人群,推荐进行粪便潜血试验(FOBT)、乙状结肠镜检查(FS)和结肠镜检查以筛查结直肠癌(CRC)。
基于亚洲国家的疾病患病率、依从率和筛查程序成本,评估FOBT、FS和结肠镜检查的成本效益。
假设10万名50岁的人群,每年进行FOBT,每5年进行FS,或每10年进行结肠镜检查,直至80岁。FOBT阳性或FS检查发现息肉的患者接受结肠镜检查。每3年重复进行监测结肠镜检查。评估CRC的治疗成本,包括手术和化疗。使用马尔可夫模型比较不同筛查策略的成本效益。
假设依从率为90%,结肠镜检查、FS和FOBT分别可将CRC发病率降低54.1%、37.1%和29.3%。FOBT的增量成本效益比(ICER)(每挽救一个生命年6222美元)低于FS(每挽救一个生命年8044美元)和结肠镜检查(每挽救一个生命年7211美元)。当依从率降至50%和30%时,FOBT的ICER仍然最低。
对于50至80岁的平均风险个体,在CRC筛查中,与FS或结肠镜检查相比,FOBT具有成本效益。
