A model based cost-utility analysis of Embedding referral to structured self-management education into standard practice (Embedding) compared to usual care for people with type 2 diabetes diagnosis in the last 12 months in England

Objectives To conduct a cost-utility analysis of an implementation package that has been developed aiming to embed the referral of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to structured self-management education (SSME) from primary care into routine practice compared with usual care.Design Model-...

description Objectives To conduct a cost-utility analysis of an implementation package that has been developed aiming to embed the referral of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to structured self-management education (SSME) from primary care into routine practice compared with usual care.Design Model-based cost-effectiveness analysis using the School for Public Health Research type 2 diabetes treatment model. With costs and effectiveness parameters coming from analyses of data from a cluster randomised control trial.Setting English National Health Service.Participants People with T2DM from 64 GP practices in England.Interventions Embedding SSME implementation package Usual care.Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Secondary outcome measures included the probability of Embedding implementation package being cost-effective and value of information.Results The estimated cost of the intervention was £40 316 across the study sites, which equates to £0.521 per patient across all practices. For the base case, the estimated mean discounted incremental lifetime cost of the intervention per patient is £48.19. This is associated with a mean per patient incremental quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) estimate of 0.006, producing an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of £8311 per QALY gained. This has a 73.1% probability of the intervention being cost-effective at a funding threshold of £20 000 per QALY gained. Scenario analyses indicate that alternative parameterisations can lead to this finding being overturned.Conclusions The effectiveness of the Embedding packages was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, our base case analysis shows that Embedding could be cost-effective for this patient population, but this was subject to significant structural uncertainty. This suggests that while implementation initiatives can be highly cost-effective in this population, more robust evidence or further incentivisation will be required before widespread adoption can be recommended.Trial registration number ISRCTN23474120, registered 05/04/2018.
