Abstract:
Background: Evidence has shown that short courses of antibiotic therapy are at least as effective as long courses with better clinical outcomes. CAZ/AVI has demonstrated its clinical efficacy in treating K. pneumoniae-KPC infections. Methods: We conducted an analysis based on the real-life data of our ten years retrospective cohort to assess the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of a short course of CAZ/AVI plus source control compared to a long course plus source control. A Markov model was structured. Patient transition between health states was modeled, each transition has a probability, and each state has a cost and a utility. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were obtained by dividing the difference in costs by the difference in utilities between the two courses. Input parameter uncertainty was investigated through sensitivity analysis. We launched 1000 Monte Carlo simulations by iteratively perturbing variables within estimated variation ranges, obtaining an ICER result for each simulation. Results: In the first model (old appropriate treatment), a short course of treatment was associated with reduced costs per patient per year of euro4818.60 and reduced effects (0.10 QALYs), compared to a long course. In the CAZ/AVI model, the short course was associated with increased costs of euro1297.9 and with increased effects (0.04 QALYs), resulting in an ICER of euro32,317.82 per QALY gained, below the WTP threshold of euro40,000. Conclusions: Our findings highlight additional evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of CAZ/AVI for policy-makers. We outline that CAZ/AVI could be cost-effective compared to old appropriate antibiotic therapies for KPC-Kp BSI.
