Cost Utility Analysis of a Pilot Study for the Korean Lung Cancer Screening Project.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost utility of a pilot study of Korean Lung Cancer Screening Project.

Materials and methods

We constructed a Markov model consisting of 26 states based on the natural history of lung cancer according to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summary stage (localized, regional, distant). In the base case, people aged 55-74 years were under consideration for annual screening. Costs and quality-adjusted life years were simulated to calculate the incremental cost utility ratio. Sensitivity analyses were performed on the uncertainty associated with screening target ages, stage distribution, cost, utility, mortality, screening duration, and discount rate.

Results

The base case (US$25,383 per quality-adjusted life y
