dc.description.abstractObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to determine the cost-utility of single inhaler combination inhaled corticosteroid and a long-acting beta 2-agonist (ICS/LABAs) as both maintenance and reliever (SMART) compared with a step-up maintenance treatment with a fixed medium to high dose of ICS combined with LABA and a short-acting beta 2-agonist (SABA) as reliever (ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA) among patients aged 12 years or more with poorly controlled asthma in Colombia.MethodsA Markov-type model was developed to estimate the costs and health outcomes of a simulated cohort of patients aged 12 years or more with uncontrolled asthma treated for 12 months. The main effectiveness data were obtained from a recent meta-analysis. The main outcome was the variable ''quality-adjusted life-years'' (QALYs).ResultsThe base-case analysis showed that the budesonide/formoterol (BUD/FORM) SMART strategy was associated with lower overall treatment costs (US $3,062.37 vs. $4,462.02 average cost per patient over 12 months) and the greatest gain in QALYs (0.8511 vs. 0.8258 QALYs on average per patient over 12 months) compared with ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA at step 4, thus leading to dominance.ConclusionsIn patients aged 12 years or more with uncontrolled asthma at GINA step 3 or 4, the BUD/FORM SMART strategy at either step 3 or 4 is cost-effective compared with the ICS-LABA maintenance plus SABA at step 4 strategy, because it shows a greater gain in QALYs at lower total treatment costs.
