Efficacy monitoring “The update specifies the outcome(s) measures, but not the degree in improvement of outcome(s) required to constitute treatment success” Commissioners will work with expert clinicians to refine these outcomes to provide defined ‘treatment success’ measures where possible.

Changes to the colour-coded prioritisation in the Demand Management Programme Grey to Blue The database review identified two of the top 10 immunoglobulin-using indications as Grey (secondary antibody deficiencies and antibody-mediated rejection following solid organ transplantation). In the previous edition, they were listed under immunosuppressive pharmacotherapy, and separately under some of the haematological malignancies such as CLL, without listing other mature B-cell malignancies such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. These have been revised into a single indication. Antibody-mediated rejection following solid organ transplantation andantibody-incompatible transplantation were reviewed, and a single grouping of ‘Transplantation (solid organ)’ has been introduced and listed as Blue.
Changes to the colour-coded prioritisation in the Demand Management Programme Grey to Blue Acquired von Willebrand disease has now been included with acquired haemophilia, in the general disease grouping of ‘Coagulation factor inhibitors’. Polymyositis and Inclusion body myositis havenow been grouped with dermatomyositis under the general disease grouping of inflammatory myopathies, with strict selection criteria. Post-transfusion hyperhaemolysis has now been grouped under the more general heading of haemolytic anaemia. SLE with secondary immunocytopenias shouldbe considered under the relevant immune cytopenia.
Changes to the colour-coded prioritisation in the Demand Management Programme Blue to Red Specific antibody deficiency, as a recognised primary antibody deficiency disorder, has been reclassified as a Red indication (for those cases where immunoglobulin replacement therapy is required). Haemolytic disease of the newborn has beenupdated to reflect recommendations in ‘NICE clinical guideline 98’ on neonatal jaundice.
