Time Without Symptoms of disease and subjective Toxic effects of treatment
• TWiST– Developed by Richard Gelber (statistician)
• In search for a typical “cancer” problem– Often prolonged life but also a reductions in
quality of life• At the beginning (side effects)• At the end
– Only count the days without symptoms of disease and subjective toxic effects of the treatment
4
Fit new therapy in fixed budget
• 50 patients each year (per hospital) – Drug x: 50 x euro 1.750 = euro 87.500– Drug y: 50 x euro 2.000 = euro 100.000
• Drug budget for x or y = euro 50.000– Number of patient
• Drug x: euro 50.000 / 1.750 = 28.5 patients• Drug y: euro 50.000 / 2.000 = 25.0 patients
– Survival in days• Drug x: 28.5 patients x 300 days = 8.550 days• Drug y: 25.0 patients x 400 days = 10.000 days
– Survival in TWiST• Drug x: 28.5 patients x 190 TWiST = 5.415 days• Drug y: 25.0 patients x 220 TWiST = 5.500 days
5
TWiST: ignores differences in quality of life
• TWiST– Healthy = 1– Sick (dead) = 0
• There is more to life than sick/health– Make intermediate values– Q-TWiST
• Quality of life adjusted adjusted TWiST• How to scale quality of life?

Value a health state
• Wheelchair– Some problems in walking about– Some problems washing or dressing– Some problems with performing usual activities– Some pain or discomfort– No psychosocial problems

Time Trade-Off
• TTO• Wheelchair
– With a life expectancy: 50 years• How many years would you trade-off for a cure?
– Max. trade-off is 10 years• QALY(wheel) = QALY(healthy)
– Y * V(wheel) = Y * V(healthy)– 50 V(wheel) = 40 * 1
• V(wheel) = .80

EuroQol EQ-5D: of the shelf QALY value
• MOBILITY– I have no problems in walking about – I have some problems in walking about – I am confined to bed
• SELF-CARE– I have no problems with self-care – I have some problems washing or dressing myself – I am unable to wash or dress myself
• USUAL ACTIVITIES (e.g. work, study, housework family or leisure activities)
– I have no problems with performing my usual activities – I have some problems with performing my usual
activities – I am unable to perform my usual activities
• PAIN/DISCOMFORT– I have no pain or discomfort – I have moderate pain or discomfort – I have extreme pain or discomfort
• ANXIETY/DEPRESSION– I am not anxious or depressed – I am moderately anxious or depressed – I am extremely anxious or depressed

In health economics: Q-TWiST = QALY
• Count life years• Value (V) quality of life (Q)
– V(Q) = [0..1] • 1 = Healthy• 0 = Dead
– One dimension• Adjusted life years (Y) for value quality of life
– QALY = Y * V(Q)• Y: numbers of life years• Q: health state• V(Q): the value of health state Q
• Also called “utility analysis”

• A new wheelchair for elderly (iBOT)• Special post natal care
Which health care program is the most cost-effective?
11
Which health care program is the most cost-effective?
• A new wheelchair for elderly– Increases quality of life = 0.1 – 10 years benefit– Extra costs: $ 3,000 per life year– QALY = Y x V(Q) = 10 x 0.1 = 1 QALY– Costs are 10 x $3,000 = $30,000– Cost/QALY = 30,000/QALY
• Special post natal care– Quality of life = 0.8– 35 year– Costs are $250,000– QALY = 35 x 0.8 = 28 QALY– Cost/QALY = 8,929/QALY

Example STIP
• Short-Term Inpatient Psychotherapy• Cost price
– Per patient day: € 210.34– 3 mouths = 91.3 day– 91.3 x 210 = € 19,194.53
• Includes overhead– Buildings, administration, etc
• Excluding– Savings elsewhere in health care system
• Effect– Assume quality of life increase of 0.25– Over 10 year
• Cost / QALY– 19,194.54 / (10 x 0.25) = € 7,677.41
Although gold standard…

Egalitarian Concerns:Burden of disease
16
Implications shifting threshold
• QALY are weighted• Weighted QALYs are maximized
– Health is no longer the only thing maximized• Health status population will drop• Differences in health will drop
– Egalitarian consideration are incorporated• Burden of disease becomes a criteria
– Equity

Conclusion
• Introduce state-of-the-art cost effectiveness studies– Measure costs and outcome
• Suitable for cost effectiveness studies• According to guidelines
• Establish burden of disease– State-of-the-art quality of life research
• Use an active approach on budget constrains– Anticipate on policy arguments– Look for beyond own discipline
