Abstract
Background and objectives
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious health problem with an increasing clinical, social and economic impact in advanced stages. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor that reduces the risk of CKD progression, in addition to provide cardiovascular benefits and reduce all-cause mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the short-term clinical and economic impact of dapagliflozin as an add-on to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) standard therapy for CKD in Spain.
Materials and methods
A cost-offset model was used to compare the costs of clinical events and pharmacological per 100,000 CKD patients in a virtual cohort treated with dapagliflozin added to RAASi standard therapy versus RAASi standard therapy alone. Renal (progression to renal failure and acute kidney injury), cardiovascular (hospitalisation for heart failure [HF]), and all-cause mortality events were assessed. The incidence of clinical events by treatment arm was obtained from the DAPA-CKD study, and costs were obtained from national databases and the literature.
Results
Over 3 years, treatment with dapagliflozin would reduce progression to renal failure (−33%; 7,221 vs. 10,767), hospitalisation for HF (−49%; 2,370 vs. 4,683) and acute kidney injury (−29%; 4,110 vs. 5,819). The savings associated with this reduction in events was €258 million per 100,000 patients, of which 63.4% is due to the avoidance of dialysis for renal failure. Considering the event and pharmacological treatment costs, the total net savings were estimated at €158 million per 100,000 patients.
Conclusions
Delaying progression of CKD and reducing the incidence of clinical events thanks to the treatment with dapagliflozin could generate savings for the Spanish National Health System, even when pharmacological costs are taken into account.
