Analysis of the impact on the health care budget and consumers of the use of the preparation of omega-3 acid ethyl esters90 in the treatment of patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia
Abstract
Aim To evaluate economic results of using omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 for primary prevention of cardiovascular catastrophes in patients with residual hypertriglyceridemia (HTG).Material and methods The economic evaluation of using the medicine omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 in the system of drug provision of the population of the Russian Federation was performed by analyzing the effect on the budget using a pharmacoeconomic model developed with the Microsoft Office Excel 2016 software. The effect of omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 was evaluated in 555 643 patients with residual HGT (Moscow). The study lasted for one year. Results of the meta-analysis by A.A. Bernasconi et al. (2020) were used as a source of efficacy data. The following direct and indirect medical expenses for treatment of cardiovascular complications of residual HTG were taken into account in this study: expenses for drug therapy; expenses for therapy and rehabilitation for nonfatal complications; expenses for fatal outcomes; state support for disability; foregone per capita gross domestic product resulting from losses of earnings due to temporary incapacity to labor by people of work-able age; and salary payments for temporary incapacity to work.Results Using omega-3 acid ethyl esters 90 in 555 643 patients with residual HTG will allow preventing 1 437 fatal ischemic cardiovascular complications (including 564 deaths from ischemic heart disease and 1 128 cases of myocardial infarction (MI), including 558 fatal…
