Two self-sampling strategies for HPV primary cervical cancer screening compared with clinician-collected sampling: an economic evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the costs and effects of three sampling strategies for human papillomavirus (HPV) primary screening.

Design

Cost-consequence analysis from a health system perspective using a deterministic decision tree model.

Setting

England.

Participants

A cohort of 10 000 women aged 25-65 years eligible for the National Health Service Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP).

Methods

The model was based on the NHSCSP HPV primary screening pathway and adapted for self-sampling. It used a 3-year cycle: routine screening (year 1) and recall screening (years 2/3). Parameter inputs were informed using published studies, NHSCSP reports and input from experts and manufacturers. Costs were from 2020/2021, British pound sterling (£).
