Cost-effectiveness of Internet-based self-management compared with usual care in asthma.

<h4>Background</h4>Effectiveness of Internet-based self-management in patients with asthma has been shown, but its cost-effectiveness is unknown. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of Internet-based asthma self-management compared with usual care.<h4>Methodology and princip...

We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of Internet-based asthma self-management compared with usual care.<h4>Methodology and principal findings</h4>Cost-effectiveness analysis alongside a randomized controlled trial, with 12 months follow-up. Patients were aged 18 to 50 year and had physician diagnosed asthma. The Internet-based self-management program involved weekly on-line monitoring of asthma control with self-treatment advice, remote Web communications, and Internet-based information. We determined quality adjusted life years (QALYs) as measured by the EuroQol-5D and costs for health care use and absenteeism. We performed a detailed cost price analysis for the primary intervention. QALYs did not statistically significantly differ between the Internet group and usual care: difference 0.024 (95% CI, -0.016 to 0.065). Costs of the Internet-based intervention were $254 (95% CI, $243 to $265) during the period of 1 year. From a societal perspective, the cost difference was $641 (95% CI, $-1957 to $3240). From a health care perspective, the cost difference was $37 (95% CI, $-874 to $950). At a willingness-to-pay of $50,000 per QALY, the probability that Internet-based self-management was cost-effective compared to usual care was 62% and 82% from a societal and health care perspective, respectively.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Internet-based self-management of asthma can be as effective as current asthma care and costs are similar.<h4>Trial registration</h4>Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN79864465.Victor van der MeerWilbert B van den HoutMoira J BakkerKlaus F RabePeter J SterkWillem J J AssendelftJob KievitJacob K SontSMASHING (Self-Management in Asthma Supported by Hospitals, ICT, Nurses and General Practitioners) Study GroupPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 6, Iss 11, p e27108 (2011)
