To invest appropriately in interventions for people with COPD
Even those with severe disease ~500 smokers with severe COPD Mean age 58 years 60 pack-years of smoking High nicotine dependence 10 intensive behavioral interventions with medication: 233 Nicotine Replacement Therapy & 190 Varenicline 48.5% abstinence at 6 months 61% with Varenicline and 44% with NRT Safe Jiminez Ruiz et al Nicotine and Tobacco Research 2011
Because even before that paper we knew enough to proceed at a clinical level ‘Offer nicotine replacement therapy, varenicline or bupropion (unless contraindicated) combined with a support programme to optimise quit rates… to all people with COPD who still smoke at every opportunity.’ NICE 2010
And at a population level J Health Serv Res Policy. 2011 Jul;16(3):133-40. Emergency respiratory admissions: influence of practice, population and hospital factors. Purdy S et al. Academic Unit of Primary Health Care, Bristol • For every 1% increase in prevalence of smoking in your COPD population there is a 1% increase in COPD admission rates • For every 1% increase in prevalence of smoking in your asthma population there is a 1% increase in asthma admission rates
Either from a zero base, or to add to existing interventions • 200 out-patients with SMI • 60% current smokers (mean age 44) • 23% COPD prevalence (self-reported) • Only 36% reported having COPD treatment • 147 Medicaid patients with SMI • 31% COPD prevalence; 50% as co-morbidity • Annual costs for SMI and COPD were 4 x higher • 45% (5/11) deaths due to respiratory disease Himelhoch S, Lehman A, Kreyenbuhl J et al.

And there is still unmet need in primary care egSouthwarkdashboard 2013 Prevalence of current smoking where status recorded in last 15 months 1550/3335 = 46.5% COPD smokers in last year receiving evidence based stop smoking support – 17.5%
So what if we did this by shifting resources to where the people are?
Where are the people? Sick smokers in hospital beds Smokers in mental health services In prisons Quietly stoical at home Multiple prescriptions
Would it tackle…. • Premature mortality • Optimising bed days • Waste – human spirit, staff resources, time, prescriptions
Fall in children's asthma admissions equivalent to 6802 fewer hospital admissions in 3 years after smoking ban .http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2013/01/15/peds.2012-2592.abstract … Supporting sick smokers: CQUIN, NRT, stop smoking champions http://jpubhealth.oxfordjournals.org/content/34/1/37.long 200 public health interventions analysed for cost-effectiveness 15% were cost -saving 85% were under 20k per QALY Primary care management of tobacco dependence and long term conditions, ongoing, sustained, LES, QOF Asymptomatic smokers: Tobacco control policies, very brief advice, education, smoke-free environments, community-based stop smoking services, quitlines, self-referral,
Why shift? It’s all about value…. • If we had £1200 per person per year, the gearing is: • £100 – GP, • £200 community, • £600 acute, • £300 specialistIf acute goes up by 4% have to take 24% out of primary or 12% out of community; £300 specialist won’t change! Martin McShane, NHS CB Lead for Long Term Conditions Care (Domain 2), December 2012
What does 1% look like - in Southwark? • 1% of respiratory OP spend £18,940 • 1% of total respiratory secondary care £136, 090 • 1% of respiratory primary care prescribing £40,470 2010/11 Programme budget –usual caveats about coding
Imagine we shifted some of that to where the people are– eg a mental health stop smoking adviser, or a system-wide education and training programme or a joined up stop smoking service– would we achieve greater value?
