The cost-effectiveness of patient-applied treatments for anogenital warts.
International Journal of STD & AIDS 2003 April
A model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of podophyllotoxin and imiquimod for self-treatment of anogenital warts. The effectiveness endpoint was sustained clearance after treatment and a subsequent follow-up period of approximately 12 weeks. Effectiveness of podophyllotoxin was estimated from a quantitative summary of nine placebo-controlled trials, while effectiveness of imiquimod was based on a quantitative summary of six placebo-controlled trials. Costs were considered from a UK health service provider perspective; drug acquisition costs were obtained from the British National Formulary and health service costs of clinic attendance were based on a recent survey of GUM clinics. The impact of uncertainty was explored in a wide range of one-way and probabilistic (multi-way) sensitivity analyses. The cost per sustained clearance was 313 for podophyllotoxin and 606 for imiquimod. The modest and statistically insignificant incremental effectiveness of imiquimod was purchased at high cost-2476 per additional sustained clearance. Sensitivity analyses showed the economic superiority of podophyllotoxin to be robust and statistically very significant.
