摘要
We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of test-and-treat scenarios for vaginitis, scenarios based on clinical and microscopic examination (CME), nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), or nonamplified nucleic acid probe (probe) testing. The symptom resolution outcome and the payer cost of diagnosis and treatment were estimated in decision analytical models in a hypothetical patient population. Compared with probe testing, NAAT resulted in symptom resolution in more patients (615 versus 475 per 1000 tested) at a cost of $210 per incremental symptom resolution, a cost lower than the willingness to pay for symptom resolution ($871) implied by payer coverage for probe testing. Following a negative CME, the NAAT scenario resulted in symptom resolution in more patients (650 per 1000 patients tested) than did either CME (525) or the CME probe testing–based scenario (602) at incremental cost-effectiveness ratios lower than the willingness to pay implied by coverage for CME. Therefore, NAAT is likely to cost-effectively improve health outcomes for patients with vaginitis.
