Cost-effectiveness of drugs may vary from country to country
A study published in the journal Value in Health reviews variations in estimates of cost-effectiveness of
pharmaceuticals from country to country. Data showed that the results seen in one country are not necessarily applicable in
another and that decision makers need to interpret data from other countries very carefully.
This research was conducted within and across multiple countries in Western Europe to assess the generalizability of the
cost-effectiveness of new pharmaceuticals. While health results of clinical studies of drugs tend to be transferable from one
area to the next, the cost-effectiveness of drugs is dependent on location. This information is becoming increasingly
important to healthcare policy makers.
"Because the healthcare systems in different countries vary considerably, we shouldn't automatically assume that a new drug
that gives good value for money in one country will do so an another," states Professor Michael Drummond, co-author of the
study. Study results emphasized the fact that economic evaluations in one country give little basis on which to predict
cost-effectiveness across borders.
Factors affecting the variations include demography and epidemiology of disease, difference in clinical practice patterns,
and differences in relative prices cross-country. This variability is a particular concern for decision makers, those
conducting economic studies and particularly pharmaceutical manufacturers, who may have to consider repeating studies in
every possible setting.
