Forecasting the value of innovation in total knee arthroplasty care: A headroom approach.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the standard treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis. TKA is often used and, therefore, poses a healthcare and societal burden, which is likely to increase further. Headroom analyses evaluate a technology under development by making assumptions about its effectiveness. This article applies a headroom approach to forecast the potential value of innovations that improve TKA-related care in the Netherlands in terms of cost-effectiveness and surgeries avoided.

Methods

A state-transition model estimating lifetime direct health effects, healthcare- and societal costs and percentage of avoide d surgeries was developed. The model compared care as usual to five hypothetical interventions to calculate the headroom associated with (1) preventing t
