From the subgroup analysis, it was observed that the cost-effectiveness of mepolizumab increases in specific subgroups, achieving an ICER of $46.640 USD in patients with eosinophils count of 300 and more cell/mcL and an exacerbation history of at least 4 exacerbations in the past year. Conclusions: In the light of the Chilean threshold, mepolizumab cannot be considered a cost-effective strategy. However, price discount in specific subgroups improves its cost-effectiveness profile significantly. It was estimated an ICER of $24.116 USD in the best performance subgroup with a 50% price discount.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
