Overview

Cost-effectiveness analysis reveals BCIS algorithm improves QALYs in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients, suggesting efficiency in care delivery.

Key Points

  • The BCIS OHCA conveyance algorithm improves patient outcomes and is more cost-effective than standard care.
  • It results in 0.43 additional QALYs for an incremental cost of £1,244, achieving an ICER of £2,926 per QALY gained.
  • Using a hybrid decision tree and Markov model, the analysis involved a hypothetical cohort of 9,000 patients over a lifetime horizon.
  • Findings support investing in specialized cardiac arrest centers for enhanced clinical and economic results.
