To assess the cost-effectiveness of professional-mode flash glucose monitoring in adults with type 2 diabetes in general practice compared with usual clinical care.
An economic evaluation was conducted as a component of the GP-OSMOTIC trial, a pragmatic multicentre 12-month randomised controlled trial enrolling 299 adults with type 2 diabetes in Victoria, Australia. The economic evaluation was conducted from an Australian healthcare sector perspective with a lifetime horizon. Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and total healthcare costs were compared between the intervention and the usual care group within the trial period. The 'UKPDS Outcomes Model 2' was used to simulate post-trial lifetime costs, life expectancy and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).
No significant difference in health-related quality of life and costs was found between the two groups within the trial period. Professional-mode flash glucose monitoring yielded greater QALYs (0.03 [95% CI: 0.02, 0.04]) and a higher cost (A$3807 [95% CI: 3604, 4007]) compared with usual clinical care using a lifetime horizon under the trial-based monitoring frequency, considered not cost-effective (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio = A$120,228). The intervention becomes cost-effective if sensor price is reduced to lower than 50%, or monitoring frequency is decreased to once per year while maintaining the same treatment effect on HbA .
Including professional-mode flash glucose monitoring every 3 months as part of a management plan for people with type 2 diabetes in general practice is not cost-effective, but could be if the sensor price or monitoring frequency can be reduced.
评估在普通诊所中,与常规临床护理相比,专业模式即时血糖监测在 2 型糖尿病成人患者中的成本效益。
作为 GP-OSMOTIC 试验的一部分,进行了一项经济评估,该试验是一项在澳大利亚维多利亚州开展的实用、多中心、12 个月的随机对照试验,纳入了 299 名 2 型糖尿病成人患者。该经济评估从澳大利亚医疗保健部门的角度进行,采用终生时间范围。在试验期间,比较了干预组和常规护理组的健康相关生活质量(EQ-5D)和总医疗保健成本。使用“UKPDS 结果模型 2”来模拟试验后终生的成本、预期寿命和质量调整生命年(QALYs)。
在试验期间,两组之间的健康相关生活质量和成本均无显著差异。采用终生时间范围和基于试验的监测频率,与常规临床护理相比,专业模式即时血糖监测可带来更多的 QALYs(0.03 [95% CI:0.02,0.04])和更高的成本(A$3807 [95% CI:3604,4007]),被认为不具有成本效益(增量成本效益比为 A$120228)。如果传感器价格降低到低于 50%,或者在保持 HbA1c 治疗效果相同的情况下,将监测频率降低至每年一次,则该干预措施将具有成本效益。
在普通诊所中,将专业模式即时血糖监测每 3 个月作为 2 型糖尿病患者管理计划的一部分,不具有成本效益,但如果传感器价格或监测频率能够降低,则可能具有成本效益。
