> > Title: Using simulation for evaluating resource requirements and
> > cost-utilities of treatments for end-stage renal failure
> > Abstract:
> > Patients with end-stage renal failure need renal replacement therapy,
> which
> > includes haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation.
> > Numbers are relatively small but the treatments are expensive. A
discrete
> > event simulation describes the transfer of patients between modalities.
> > Current and expected future acceptance rates for England were estimated
> from
> > population projections and comparisons with other countries. Kaplan
Maier
> > survival curves were derived from patient databases and were fitted, by
> age
> > group, using two exponential curves. The simulation results show that
the
> > numbers on treatment can be expected to increase by about 50%-75% over
the
> > next 15 years, which will place a considerable burden on the Health
> Service
> > budget. Cost utility calculations facilitate comparisons with screening
> > services, prevention measures and treatments for other diseases.
