Nose Polyp Removal Surgery Cost ?

Approximately 9% of patients with Nose Polyps undergo surgery annually. Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) has been shown to be cost-effective compared to coventional medical therapy. A new natural treatment medical option, the exhalation delivery system with fluticasone (EDS-FLU) was recently approved by FDA for the treatment of nose polyps in adults, and has shown potential in clinical trials (NAVIGATE I/II) to reduce need for ESS by ∼60% after 24 weeks. This study compared the modeled costs and quality adjusted life year (QALY) gains with surgery vs. EDS-FLU over a five-year time horizon in a pooled population of trial participants defined a priori as ESS candidates.

The analysis found that nose polyps natural treatments was a dominant choice, producing 0.19 additional QALYs vs. ESS with 19.5% lower total cost . Probabilistic sensitivity analysis found this conclusion to be robust, with 56.6% of simulations showing EDS-FLU to be dominant, and 84.9% of simulations showing natural treatments to be the preferred choice at a cost-effectiveness threshold of $50,000/QALY.
In this cost-utility model, natural treatment sproduced lower cost than surgery.
