Abstract
Background and objective To evaluate the economic impact in Spain derived from the introduction of the XEN®63 implant as a surgical alternative in the management of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with or without cataract in refractory patients. Materials and methods A budget impact analysis was designed to estimate the costs of surgical treatment of POAG from the perspective of the Spanish National Health System (NHS), over a time horizon of 1 year. The comparators considered (trabeculectomy, deep non-perforating sclerectomy, Ahmed valve, iStent inject®, Preserflo® microshunt and XEN®45) correspond to those used in Spanish public clinical practice. For the calculation of the target population, market shares and resource use in terms of follow-up visits, additional procedures and post-surgery complications, data from the literature were used and validated with a panel of 4 experts. Unit costs (€2021) were obtained from the ESALUD database. Results The inclusion of XEN®63 could generate savings of €2,569,737 after one year since its introduction, derived from savings in the cost of the implant and procedure (−€423,120; −0.7%), follow-up visits (−€777,407; −4.5%), additional procedures (−1,048,145; −20.6%) and post-surgery complications (−€321,065; −14.2%). Conclusions The incorporation of XEN®63 in the surgical arsenal for the treatment of refractory POAG with and without cataracts could generate savings for the NHS.
