Interactive session design cost effectiveness • Jan J. v. Busschbach, Ph.D. • Erasmus MC • Institute for Medical Psychology and PsychotherapyPO Box 17383000 DR Rotterdam+31 10 4087807J.vanbusschbach@erasmusmc.nl • Psychotherapeutic centre 'De Viersprong’ • PO Box 74660 AA Halsteren+ 31 164 632200Jan.Busschbach@deviersprong.nl • Presentations can be found at • http://www.xs4all.nl/~jannetvb/busschbach/
Questions to be solved; • Who is the audience? • Who’s perspective? • Should we evaluated at all? • What are the costs? • What are the effects? • How do effects relate to the costs in practice? • Model • Who to interpret the cost effectiveness ratio?
The societal perspective • Standard in health economics • Determine cost (and effects) from the societal viewpoint • Resource used by all parties concerned • The cost for society as a whole • No matter who paying • Other perspectives are possible • Insurance, government, hospital, patient, industry, doctor
Tariffs • Cutback operation, correction of anus anterior • Small operation • Halve hour • Tariff: 1571 Euro • Posterior Saggital Anorectoplasty (PSARP) • Large operation • 3 to 5 hours • Tariff: 374 Euro
Cost price investigations • Measure only volumes of major costs drivers • Estimated “real market prices” • One should include all resources used • The societal perspective • Shadow pricing • Tariffs are only used in health economics • If they are a reasonable accurate indication of the resources used • If they are a small proportion of the total costs • If they volumes do not contribute to the incremental costs • (the difference between to alternative programs)
We are in need of uni-dimensional effects • For instance: • $ 10,000 .- 1 hip transplantation • $ 15,000 ,- 1 wheelchair • Costs can be compared • Are uni-dimensionaal • Effects are less easy to compare • Effects are multi-dimensional • How to make the effects also uni-dimensional?
How to make the effects uni-dimensional? • Three methods • Cost Benefit Analysis • Express effects in money • Cost Effectiveness Analysis • Focus on one effect • Cost per QALY Analysis (Utility) • QALY
Visual Analogue Scale Normal health • VAS • Also called category scaling • From psychological research • “How is your quality of life today ?” • “X” marks the spot • Response in centimeters • Rescale to [0..1] • Different anchor point possible: • Normal health (1.0) versus dead (0.0) • Best imaginable health versusworse imaginable health X Dead
Time Trade-Off • TTO • Wheelchair • With a life expectancy: 50 years • How many years would you trade-off for a cure? • Max. trade-off is 10 years • QALY(wheel) = QALY(healthy) • Y * V(wheel) = Y * V(healthy) • 50 V(wheel) = 40 * 1 • V(wheel) = .8
The EuroQol EQ-5D • MOBILITY • I have no problems in walking about • I have some problems in walking about • I am confined to bed • SELF-CARE • I have no problems with self-care • I have some problems washing or dressing myself • I am unable to wash or dress myself • USUAL ACTIVITIES (e.g. work, study, housework family or leisure activities) • I have no problems with performing my usual activities • I have some problems with performing my usual activities • I am unable to perform my usual activities • PAIN/DISCOMFORT • I have no pain or discomfort • I have moderate pain or discomfort • I have extreme pain or discomfort • ANXIETY/DEPRESSION • I am not anxious or depressed • I am moderately anxious or depressed • I am extremely anxious or depressed
Describe health states Have values from the general public Rosser QWB 15D HUI Mark 2 HUI Mark 3 EuroQol EQ-5D Validated Questionnaires
How to get these societal values? • Patient fills in questionnaire • Choose the value function from the literature • Calculate societal value COMPUTE MVH_A1 = 1. VARIABLE LABELS MVH_A1 'York A1 tariff'. DO IF (NVALID(mo, sc, ua, pd, ad) < 5 ). RECODE MVH_A1 (1 = SYSMIS). END IF. IF (MAX(mo, sc, ua, pd, ad) > 1) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 -.081. IF (mo = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .069. IF (mo = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .314. IF (sc = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .104. IF (sc = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .214. IF (ua = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .036. IF (ua = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .094. IF (pd = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .123. IF (pd = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .386. IF (ad = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .071. IF (ad = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .236. IF (MAX(mo, sc, ua, pd, ad) > 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .269.
An example of a value function * SPSS syntax Dolan 1997, Medical Care, 1997;35:1095-108. * mo = mobility, sc= self care, ua = usual activities, pd = pain & discomfort , ad = anxiety and depression. COMPUTE MVH_A1 = 1. VARIABLE LABELS MVH_A1 'York A1 tariff'. DO IF (NVALID(mo, sc, ua, pd, ad) < 5 ). RECODE MVH_A1 (1 = SYSMIS). END IF. IF (MAX(mo, sc, ua, pd, ad) > 1) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 -.081. IF (mo = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .069. IF (mo = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .314. IF (sc = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .104. IF (sc = 3) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .214. IF (ua = 2) MVH_A1 = MVH_A1 - .036.

Some values • Broken arm • 12211 • no problems in walking about • some problems washing or dressing • some problems with performing usual activities • no pain or discomfort • not anxious or depressed • Societal value = 0.779
Some values • Broken hip • 22222 • some problems in walking about • some problems washing or dressing • some problems with performing usual activities • moderate pain or discomfort • moderately anxious or depressed • Societal value = 0.516
