[Clinical and economic analysis of the use of dapagliflozin in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction in various subgroups of standard therapy in the Russian Federation].

Aim: To evaluate the clinical and economic effectiveness of dapagliflozin in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the Russian Federation in various subgroups of standard therapy for CHF.

Materials And Methods: A clinical and economic analysis of the use of the drug dapagliflozin in addition to standard therapy was carried out in comparison with standard therapy in various subgroups of standard therapy for HFrEF using a modeling method. Cost calculations were carried out in a mathematical model adapted to the healthcare conditions of the Russian Federation by using Russian cost indicators and characteristics of the patient population.

Results: The present study demonstrates that the addition of dapagliflozin is beneficial in terms of clinical and cost-effectiveness, regardless of the initial regimen (angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors [ARNI] or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEi]/angiotensin II receptor blockers [ARB]) of standard drug therapy for HFrEF and in all cases leads to an increase in life expectancy, a decrease in the number of hospitalizations and emergency visits due to CHF, as well as cardiovascular mortality. The obtained values of added value per additional year of life in all cases are significantly lower than the willingness-to-pay threshold, which indicates the clinical and economic effectiveness of the strategy of prescribing dapagliflozin as part of standard therapy for patients with HFrEF. In the case of adding dapagliflozin the values of the additional cost of an added year of life in the 3 considered standard therapy options (ARNI or ACEi/ARB, only ACEi/ARB and only ARNI) were 291,256, 279,571 and 338,374 rubles respectively. Thus, the scenario of using dapagliflozin with standard therapy, which included only ACEi/ARB, is characterized by the lowest additional cost and has the best clinical and economic characteristics. At the same time the scenario of use with standard therapy, which included only ARNI, is characterized by the highest value of the additional value of the added year of life.
