BACKGROUND: Worldwide, coronary heart disease accounts for 7 million deaths each
year. In Sweden, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a leading cause of
hospitalization and is responsible for 1 in 4 deaths. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this
analysis was to assess the cost-effectiveness of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily
(BID) in combination with standard antiplatelet therapy (ST-APT) versus ST-APT
alone, for the secondary prevention of ACS in adult patients with elevated
cardiac biomarkers without a prior history of stroke/transient ischemic attack
(TIA), from a Swedish societal perspective, based on clinical data from the
global ATLAS ACS 2-TIMI 51 trial, literature-based quality of life data and costs
sourced from Swedish national databases. METHODS: A Markov model was developed to
capture rates of single and multiple myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic and
hemorrhagic stroke, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) major, minor,
and "requiring medical attention" bleeds, revascularization events, and
associated costs and utilities in patients who were stabilized after an initial
ACS event. Efficacy and safety data for the first 2 years came from the ATLAS ACS
2-TIMI 51 trial. Long-term probabilities were extrapolated using safety and
effectiveness of acetylsalicylic acid data, which was estimated from published
literature, assuming constant rates in time. Future cost and effects were
discounted at 3.0%. Univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were
conducted. RESULTS: In the base case, the use of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID was
associated with improvements in survival and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs),
yielding an incremental cost per QALY of 71,246 Swedish Krona (SEK) (?8045). The
outcomes were robust to changes in inputs. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis
demonstrated rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID to be cost-effective in >99.9% of cases,
assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of SEK 500,000 (?56,458). CONCLUSION:
Compared with ST-APT alone, the use of rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID in combination with
ST-APT can be considered a cost-effective treatment option for ACS patients with
elevated cardiac biomarkers without a prior history of stroke/TIA in Sweden.
