To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of resin-based and glass ionomer-based fissure sealants compared with no intervention for children.
We developed a Markov-based decision analytic model that simulated Turkish children from aged 6 to 15 years. Two types of costs were explored from the payers' perspective and the health care system perspectives. A cost-effectiveness analysis of resin-based and glass ionomer-based fissure sealants was conducted to quantify their effectiveness using the number of caries prevented and the quality-adjusted tooth years (QATYs). Costs and effectiveness measures were discounted at 3% per year.
The most cost-effective intervention was resin-based fissure sealant, with an additional $5.34 per caries prevented and $1.86 per QATY gained compared with no treatment.
Fissure sealants particularly resin-based sealants are cost-effective for children in Turkey due to their low cost and highly preventive characteristics.
评估与不干预相比,用于儿童的树脂基和玻璃离子水门汀类窝沟封闭剂的成本效益。
我们开发了一个基于马尔可夫的决策分析模型,模拟了来自土耳其年龄在 6 至 15 岁的儿童。从支付者和医疗保健系统的角度探讨了两种类型的成本。使用预防龋齿数量和质量调整后的牙年(QATYs),对树脂基和玻璃离子水门汀类窝沟封闭剂的成本效益进行了分析。成本和效果衡量指标按每年 3%贴现。
最具成本效益的干预措施是树脂基窝沟封闭剂,与不治疗相比,每预防一颗龋齿的额外成本为 5.34 美元,每获得一个 QATY 的额外成本为 1.86 美元。
由于其低成本和高度预防性的特点,窝沟封闭剂(特别是树脂基封闭剂)在土耳其对儿童具有成本效益。
