- BACKGROUND: Little is reported on costs for radical tumor resections of pancreatic carcinoma in relationship to adjusted quality of life survival postoperatively. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to estimate the cost utility of surgical treatment aimed at cure. METHODS: A population-based cohort of patients with exocrine or ampullary pancreatic adenocarcinoma resected for cure in Gothenburg University Hospitals during 1998-2005 were evaluated retrospectively (n=139). Total inpatient and outpatient healthcare costs were available for 103 patients, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) (based on the SF-36 Health Survey) were assessed preoperatively and postoperataively in 119 patients. Survival and utility index (SF-36-6D) across 5years of postoperative follow-up were used to achieve quality adjusted life years. RESULTS: Mean survival after resection was 977days for patients with exocrine pancreatic carcinoma, with expected differences among subgroups as related to disease stage (p<0.01), in agreement with international reports. The HRQL index was 0.65±0.06 preoperatively, 0.63±0.04 early postoperatively (<1year) and 0.69±0.06 at long-term follow-up (1-5years) compared to 0.77±0.02 in age-matched healthy reference individuals from the Swedish population (p<0.05). Total lifetime costs for treatments including surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy were 39,000 per patient, with a mean of 1.13 (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.93-1.40) QALYs across 5years follow-up. The cost per QALY was 35,000 (95% CI 28,026-41,947). CONCLUSIONS: Resection aimed at cure of pancreatic exocrine ductal carcinoma provided costs for one quality adjusted year of survival comparable to other complex surgical treatments within cost limits regarded as reasonable to bear by the Swedish health care system, as well as in several other Western countries.
