RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To carry out a budget impact analysis (BIA) of olmesartan/amlodipine (20/5, 40/5 and 40/10mg) marketed as a fixed combination (FC) in its approved indication for the National Health System (NHS). DESIG: We developed a decision tree model in order to estimate usual hypertension treatment algorithm in Spanish clinical practice. SETTINGS: The BIA has been developed from the perspective of the NHS for a period of 3 years (years 2010-2012). PARTICIPANTS: Spanish hypertensive population ≥ 35 years old. INTERVENTIONS: Introduction into the market of a fixed combination (FC) olmesartan/amlodipine in Spain. PRIMARY MEASURES: Expected costs to be assumed by the Spanish NHS (RRP-VAT) for hypertensive population able to be treated with the FC versus currently assumed costs by the NHS with free combination olmesartan and amlodipine. RESULTS: Estimated pharmaceutical costs in hypertensive population treated with olmesartan and amlodipine (2 pills) would be 25.2M (1(st) year), 26.4M (2011), 27.6M (2012), with a total 3-year period of 79.2M. According to patient tree model, the population able to be treated with FC would be 71,283 patients (2010), with a growth rate of 4.8% in the successive years, which supposes an annual cost of 21.2M (2010), 21.8M (2011) and 22.4M (2012), with a total 3-year period of 65.4M. The BIA shows savings of 13.8M in a total 3-year period. CONCLUSION: The BIA of FC olmesartan/amlodipine could generate net savings of 13.8M for the NHS in the period ranging from years 2010 to 2012.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Analyze evolution Renal Chronic Failure stage 4-5 (ACRF) patients and influence information they receive (educational process, EP) in modality Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) or conservative treatment (CT) in multidisciplinar ACRF Office. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective, multicenter study (3 centers). Inclusion: from June-01-2014 to October-01-2015; observation: 12 months or until start RRT or death if they occur before 12 months; ends October-01-2016. RESULTS: 336 patients were included (60% males), median and intercuartile rank 71.5 (17), 55% ≥ 70 years; Follow up initiation eGFR CKD-EPI: 21 (9) ml / min / 1.73m2; Charlson Index (ChI) with / without age 8 (3) / 4 (2); Diabetic patients: 52,4%. The EP was carried out in 168, eGFR 15 (10) ml / min / 1.73m2. The initial treatment election: 26% peritoneal dialysis (PD), 45% hemodyalisis (HD), 26% CT, kidney trasplant 3%; 60 patients started RRT: 3.3% kidney traspant; 30% PD, 66% HD; 104 admissions in 73 patients, the most frequent cause: cardiovascular disease (42%). Fallecimiento: 23 patients (6.8%). Age was higher (78.4 (6) vs. 67.8 (13.4), P<.001), higher ChI 9.8 (2.1) vs. 7.4 (2.5), P<.001). All deceased who received EP had chosen CT; 61% of deceased had at least one hospital admission vs. 39% alive (P<0.001). Cox regression: age and Charlson index were the predictive mortality variables. CONCLUSIONS: The population of ACRF patients is elder, comorbid, with high rate hospitalizations rate. The PD election is higher than usual. The EP has been very useful tool and has favored the PD choice.
