ABSTRACT
This study aims to compare economic and patient impacts of the treatment of acromegaly with two different somatostatin analogues (octreotide LAR and lanreotide SR) in Brazil. A cost-effectiveness analysis was carried out under the Brazilian Public Health Care System (SUS) perspective. A decision analytical model was developed based on the Brazilian Public Health Care System Clinical Guideline for Acromegaly. A hypothetical cohort of 276 patients was followed for two years. Data were extracted from literature and administrative databases. Based on the analytical model, treatment with octreotide LAR would avoid 12 and 17 cases of GH and IGF-I elevated serum levels, respectively. Octreotide LAR was a cost-saving strategy, with net savings of R$10,448,324 (US$4,465,096) to SUS. Annual net savings per patient were R$ 18,928 (US$8,089). Treatment of acromegaly with octreotide LAR is a dominant strategy when compared to the treatment with lanreotide SR in Brazil. Sensitivity analysis did not alter the cost-saving status.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo é comparar o impacto econômico e o impacto nos pacientes com acromegalia do tratamento com dois diferentes análogos de somatostatina (octreotida LAR e lanreotide SR) no Brasil. Um estudo de custoefetividade foi realizado a partir da perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Foi desenvolvido um modelo analítico de decisão baseado no Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas de Acromegalia do SUS. Uma coorte hipotética de 276 pacientes foi seguida por dois anos. Dados foram obtidos da literatura e bases de dados oficiais do SUS. Baseado no modelo analítico, o tratamento com octreotida LAR evitaria 12 e 17 casos com níveis elevados de GH e IGF-I, respectivamente. Octreotida LAR foi uma estratégia econômica, gerando economia de R$10.448.324 (US$4.465.096) para o SUS. A economia anual por paciente foi de R$18.928 (US$8.089). O tratamento de acromegalia com octreotida LAR é estratégia dominante quando comparado com o tratamento com lanreotida SR no Brasil. A análise de sensibilidade não alterou seu status de econômica.
