Cost-utility of long-term strontium ranelate treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
Osteoporosis International 2010 January
UNLABELLED: The results of this study suggested that long-term treatment with strontium ranelate over 5 years is cost-effective compared to no treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to estimate the cost-effectiveness of long-term strontium ranelate treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
METHODS: A validated Markov microsimulation model with a Belgian healthcare cost perspective was used to assess the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of strontium ranelate compared to no treatment, on a basis of calcium/vit D supplementation if needed. Analyses were performed for women aged 70, 75, and 80 years either with a bone mineral density T-score
RESULTS: Strontium ranelate was cost-saving at the age of 80 years in both populations. For women with a T-score
CONCLUSION: This study suggested that, compared to no treatment, long-term strontium ranelate treatment is cost-effective for postmenopausal osteoporotic women.
