However, previous analyses to quantify the costs of different dialysis modalities have used varied perspectives, different methods, and required assumptions due to lack of available data. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence reports uncertainty about the differences in costs between home-based and unit-based dialysis. This uncertainty limits the ability of policy makers to make recommendations based on cost effectiveness, which also impacts on the ability of budget holders to model the impact of any service redesign and to understand which therapies deliver better value. The aim of our study was to use a combination of top-down and bottom-up costing methods to determine the direct medical costs of different dialysis modalities in one UK nation (Wales) from the perspective of the National Health Service (NHS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Detailed hybrid top-down and bottom-up micro-costing methods were applied to estimate the direct medical costs of dialysis modalities across Wales. Micro-costing data was obtained from commissioners of the service and from interviews with renal consultants, nurses, accountants, managers and allied health professionals. Top-down costing information was obtained from the Welsh Renal Clinical Network (who commission renal services across Wales) and the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The annual direct cost per patient for home-based modalities was \u00a316,395 for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), \u00a320,295 for automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and \u00a323,403 for home-based haemodialysis (HHD). The annual cost per patient for unit-based modalities depended on whether or not patients required ambulance transport. Excluding transport, the cost of dialysis was \u00a319,990 for satellite units run in partnership with independent sector providers and \u00a323,737 for hospital units managed and staffed by the NHS. When ambulance transport was included, the respective costs were \u00a328,931 and \u00a332,678, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study is the most comprehensive analysis of the costs of dialysis undertaken thus far in the United Kingdom and clearly demonstrate that CAPD is less costly than other dialysis modalities. When ambulance transport costs are included, other home therapies (APD and HHD) are also less costly than unit-based dialysis. This detailed analysis of the components that contribute to dialysis costs will help inform future cost-effectiveness studies, inform healthcare policy and drive service redesign.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/08968608211061126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,24]],"date-time":"2022-01-24T05:16:58Z","timestamp":1643001418000},"page":"578-584","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Current costs of dialysis modalities: A comprehensive analysis within the United Kingdom"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4496-6539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gareth","family":"Roberts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, Gwent, Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Holmes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Welsh Renal Clinical Network, Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gail","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Welsh Renal Clinical Network, Wales, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Chess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, Swansea, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ned","family":"Hartfiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation, School of Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joanna M","family":"Charles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation, School of Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leah","family":"McLauglin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical and Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Noyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical and Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rhiannon Tudor","family":"Edwards","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Economics and Medicines Evaluation, School of Health Sciences, Bangor University, Bangor, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08968608211061126","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
