Cost effectiveness of fluvoxamine in the treatment of recurrent depression in France.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to examine the cost effectiveness of fluvoxamine compared with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in the treatment of patients with depressive episodes. DESIGN AND SETTING:A Markov process model was constructed to model the effectiveness, as measured by time without depression, and the costs of both treatments. The model examined a period of 18 months in order to capture the influence of both relapses and recurrences on the outcomes. Data for the construction of the model came from the published literature, an expert panel and a large multicentre randomised clinical trial. Costs were obtained from published sources. The setting for this study was France. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND RESULTS:The results of the baseline analysis showed that the use of fluvoxamine in the maintenance treatment (recurrence prevention) of depressive disorders was less costly than TCAs with total costs (direct and indirect costs) of 40,232.40 French francs (FF) and FF52,257.53, respectively (1996 values). In addition, due to the prevention of relapse and recurrence, effectiveness favoured fluvoxamine as it was associated with a longer period of time without depression when compared with TCAs (79% of the study period vs 71%). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. CONCLUSION:In conclusion, on the basis of the assumptions used in the model, the use of fluvoxamine as maintenance therapy is clinically and economically justified in patients with depressive disorders.
