Cost Effectiveness of Drug-Eluting Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients in Germany

Abstract: Treatment with DES after admission with AMI is less cost effective than treatment with BMS. Our results are in line with other cost-effectiveness analyses that used administrative data, i.e. under routine care conditions. However, our results do not preclude that DES may be cost effective in specific patient subgroups.

“…During the first year after an AMI event, direct medical costs of treating AMI patients were reported to be from € 13,838 to 14,792/patient [ 10 , 17 ]. Total costs spent on male patients were about 21 % higher than those for females ( p ≤0.0001) [ 13 ].…”

“…Los hallazgos de esta investigación van en la misma línea que lo hallado en otras evaluaciones económicas para pacientes con IAMST, las cuales han encontrado resultados poco favorables para el stent medicado, y mucha incertidumbre alrededor de la estimación y la decisión, recomendando, por tanto, mayor investigación respecto al tema 24,25 . No obstante, es importante notar que hacer una comparación directa entre los resultados de la literatura internacional puede no ser adecuado debido a que las diferencias en aspectos metodológicos y en los modelos tarifarios y de contratación pueden ser muy variables, e impactar de manera significativa los resultados encontrados según el contexto de salud 26 .…”

“…For example, propensity score analysis has been used to assess the quality of diabetes care, 13 COPD maintenance therapies, 27 the costs and lengths of stay of total hip replacement, 28 the cost-effectiveness of open laparoscopic appendectomies, 29 and the cost-effectiveness of drug-eluting stents in patients with acute myocardial infarction. 30 In summary, we were interested in exploring the impact of the Incentive Program on health care costs while controlling for several key cost-related variables. Having access to the BC Ministry of Health administrative databases, which consist of a series of registries that contain the records of people with chronic conditions, we were able to examine and compare costs and hospital utilization patterns for patients on the registries for diabetes, CHF, COPD, and hypertension.…”
