Title: Decision–analytic model to examine cost-effectiveness analysis of national breast cancer screening strategies in Indonesia

Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is the most diagnosed among Indonesian women. We identified the weakness of its early detection, diagnosis and treatment, which must be integrated and organized within healthcare structures. This study explored and developed a decision–analytic model to examine cost-effectiveness analysis of national breast cancer screening strategies in Indonesia.
Methods: Based on the result of systematic review, and exploration among stakeholders, a developed model incorporated the parameter ranges of disease progression, associated costs and health outcomes. Secondary data relevant to model development were collected through multiple sources in Indonesia. A decision-tree approach, combined with a Markov model of breast cancer natural history, aimed to synthesize the evidence of effectiveness and cost, with or without organized screening.
Result: the organized breast cancer screening yielded slightly higher quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) compared to opportunistic breast cancer screening (20.72 versus 20.10 QALYs) but was more expensive relative to the opportunistic strategy (US$ 19,340.44 versus US$ 14,562.94). The discounted incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was US$ 7,727.88/QALY below the threshold of three times the Indonesian gross domestic product
(GDP) per capita, US$12 406.
Recommendation: We suggest a community-based early-detection programs when scaled up to a systematic screening program in Indonesia, albeit with limited resources.
