Radiofrequency renal denervation (RF RDN) is recognized as an adjunct therapy for hypertension. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of RF RDN for the Taiwanese healthcare system using results from the SPYRAL HTN-ON MED randomized, sham-controlled trial. A decision-analytic Markov model projected clinical events, costs, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) for RF RDN versus standard-of-care (SoC) in an Asian population context. Clinical event risk reductions from treatment effects on office-based systolic blood pressure (oSBP) were derived from a meta-regression study of 47 hypertension trials. SPYRAL HTN-ON MED demographics and results (oSBP reduction of 4.9 mmHg against sham) were used in the base case analysis. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was assessed against a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of three million Taiwan dollars (TWD) per QALY gained. Compared to SoC, RF RDN was projected to reduce clinical events, with relative risks of 0.80, 0.88, and 0.74 for stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure (HF), respectively. The incremental costs and QALYs were 216 381 TWD and 0.25, respectively, resulting in an ICER of 850 932 TWD per QALY gained. The ICER was cost-effective across a broad range of uncertainty analyses. Model-based projections adjusted for East Asian event rates suggest RF RDN may significantly reduce events, making it a cost-effective intervention in the Taiwanese healthcare system for treating uncontrolled hypertension.
射频肾动脉去神经术(RF RDN)被认为是一种高血压辅助治疗方法。本研究利用SPYRAL HTN-ON MED随机、假对照试验的结果,评估了RF RDN对台湾医疗系统的成本效益。一个决策分析马尔可夫模型预测了在亚洲人群背景下,RF RDN与标准治疗(SoC)相比的临床事件、成本和质量调整生命年(QALYs)。对47项高血压试验的荟萃回归研究得出了治疗对诊室收缩压(oSBP)的影响所降低的临床事件风险。基础病例分析采用了SPYRAL HTN-ON MED的人口统计学数据和结果(与假手术组相比,oSBP降低4.9 mmHg)。根据每获得一个QALY愿意支付300万台币(TWD)的支付意愿(WTP)阈值评估增量成本效益比(ICER)。与SoC相比,预计RF RDN可减少临床事件,中风、心肌梗死(MI)和心力衰竭(HF)的相对风险分别为0.80、0.88和0.74。增量成本和QALYs分别为216 381 TWD和0.25,得出每获得一个QALY的ICER为850 932 TWD。在广泛的不确定性分析中,ICER具有成本效益。根据东亚事件发生率调整后的基于模型的预测表明,RF RDN可能显著减少事件,使其成为台湾医疗系统中治疗未控制高血压的一种具有成本效益的干预措施。
