A Health Economic Evaluation of Using N-Terminal Pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-Pro BNP) in Acute Heart Failure
- Conditions
- Heart Failure
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: NT-Pro BNP
- Registration Number
- NCT03669198
- Lead Sponsor
- Heart Failure Biomarker Group
- Brief Summary
Cardiac biomarkers have dramatically impacted the way HF patients are evaluated and managed. In fact, the role of biomarkers has developed to better differentiate HF against other diseases and, to timely initiate and influence more accurate diagnosis (rule out) and treatments, to predict the onset of future HF, to risk-stratify affected patients, and to serve as a tool to guide intensity of therapy. NT-proBNP has become validated biomarkers with highest guideline recommendation (class I) and independent predictors for re-hospitalization and mortality in HF patients. However, many Indonesian cardiologists do not use of those biomarkers, mostly due to limited available cardiac biomarkers for the cost effective heart failure management. We evaluate 2 alternative treatments which one that more cost-effective between biomarker's guided therapy and without biomarker.
- Detailed Description
With growing demands on limited health care budgets, optimal resource allocation in HF patients is essential. Although NT pro BNP is proposed to be effective for the evaluation and management patients with heart failure, no data exist about cost-effectiveness analysis that are based on practice patterns endorsed by universal coverage systems in Indonesia (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional). Because NT-proBNP therapy guidance in HF is believed to create additional costs, it is not yet broadly applicable. Its why we need to elaborate this issue.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description NT-pro BNP group NT-Pro BNP Subjects who be included in NT-pro BNP group examined NT-pro BNP in the ED to determine the baseline level and prior to discharge for determine the percent decline from baseline level. Patients in the NT-pro BNP group can be discharged if the NT-pro BNP level decreased ≥ 30% from baseline. If the target percent decline is not met, we will do intensification of therapy according to the algorithm
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rehospitalization rate 3 months after discharge Percentage of patients who readmit and are hospitalized because of heart failure (%)
Mortality rate 3 months after discharge Percentage of patients who are death post discharge (%)
Emergency department visit 3 months after discharge Percentage of patients who readmit and are not hospitalized because of heart failure (%)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cost Admission to hospital until 3 months after discharge Total cost include cost of hospitalization, cost of rehospitalization and cost of emergency department visit (Rupiah)
