- The aim of this study was to assess the incremental cost effectiveness of on-demand versus prophylactic haemophilia therapy in Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom and The Netherlands from the third-party payers' perspective. Using a decision tree model, the cost effectiveness of on-demand versus prophylactic therapy was analysed by extrapolating data from the European Haemophilia Economic Study to a 1-year analytic time horizon. Five hundred and six patients with severe haemophilia A and B, without inhibitors and at least 14 years of age, were enrolled in this study. Patients treated prophylactically had fewer bleeds than patients treated on-demand. With prophylactic treatment, the incremental cost per avoided bleeding ranged from [Euro sign]6650 for patients 30 years of age or younger in Germany to [Euro sign]14 140 for patients over 30 years old in Sweden. If quality of life was taken into account, patients receiving prophylactic treatment had higher mean utilities than patients on on-demand therapy. The incremental effectiveness ratios in Germany were [Euro sign]1.2 million per quality-adjusted life year gained for patients 30 years or younger and HIV-positive and [Euro sign]2.2 million for patients 30 years or younger and HIV-negative. In the group aged over 30 years and HIV-positive the on-demand treatment strategy was dominant, whereas in the over 30 years/HIV-negative group the incremental cost-utility ratio was [Euro sign]4.7 million per quality-adjusted life year. Based on our decision analysis, the use of prophylactic treatment was overall more effective than on-demand therapy in young haemophiliacs, but at extremely high cost.
