To evaluate the 3-year incremental cost-effectiveness of fluocinolone acetonide implant versus systemic therapy for the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. Randomized, controlled, clinical trial. Patients with active or recently active intermediate, posterior, or panuveitis enrolled in the Multicenter Uveitis Steroid Treatment Trial. Data on cost and health-utility during 3 years post-randomization were evaluated at 6-month intervals. Analyses were stratified by disease laterality at randomization (31 unilateral vs 224 bilateral) due to the large upfront cost of the implant. The primary outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) over 3 years: the ratio of the difference in cost (in United States Dollars) to the difference in change in quality adjusted life years (QALYs). Costs of medications, surgeries, hospitalizations, and regular procedures (e.g. lab monitoring for systemic therapy) were included. QALYs were computed as a weighted average of EQ-5D scores over the 3 years of follow-up. The ICER at three years was $297,800/QALY for bilateral disease, driven by the high cost of implant therapy (Difference Implant – Systemic [Δ]: $16,900, p<0.001) and the modest gains in QALYs (Δ = 0.057, p = 0.22). The probability of the ICER being cost-effective at thresholds of $50,000/QALY and $100,000/QALY was 0.003 and 0.04, respectively. The ICER for unilateral disease was more favorable, $41,200/QALY at 3 years, due to a smaller difference in cost between the two therapies (Δ = $5,300, p = 0.44) and a larger benefit in QALYs with the implant (Δ = 0.130, p = 0.12). The probability of the ICER being cost-effective at thresholds of $50,000/QALY and $100,000/QALY was 0.53 and 0.74, respectively. Fluocinolone acetonide implant therapy was reasonably cost-effective as compared to systemic therapy for individuals with unilateral intermediate, posterior or panuveitis but not for those with bilateral disease. These results do not apply to the use of implant therapy when systemic therapy has failed or is contraindicated. Should the duration of implant effect prove substantially longer than three years or should large changes in therapy pricing occur, the cost-effectiveness of implant versus systemic therapy would need to be re-evaluated.
