Childhood cancer survivors treated with cardiotoxic therapies are recommended to undergo routine cardiac assessment every 1 to 5 years, yet the long-term benefits are uncertain. To estimate the cost-effectiveness of routine cardiac assessment to detect asymptomatic left-ventricular dysfunction (ALVD) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) and beta-adrenergic blocking (BB) treatment to reduce congestive heart failure (CHF) in childhood cancer survivors. Simulation model. Literature, including Childhood Cancer Survivor Study data. Childhood cancer survivors Lifetime. Societal. Interval-based echocardiography assessment every 1, 2, 5 or 10 years, with subsequent ACEI/BB treatment for positive results. Lifetime systolic CHF risk, lifetime costs, quality-adjusted life expectancy, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). The lifetime CHF risk among 15-year-old 5-year childhood cancer survivors was 18.8% without routine cardiac assessment (average onset age 58.8 years). Routine echocardiography reduced lifetime CHF risk by 2.3% (with assessment every 10 years) to 8.7% (annual assessment). Compared to no assessment, the ICER for assessment every 10 years was $111,600/QALY. Assessment every 5 years had an ICER of $117,900/QALY, and the ICER for more frequent assessment exceeded >$165,000/QALY. For individuals exposed to ≥250 mg/m2 total anthracycline, the ICER for assessment every 2 years was $83,600/QALY. Results were sensitive to treatment effectiveness, absolute excess CHF risk, and ALVD asymptomatic period. For the overall cohort, the probability that assessment every 10 or 5 years was preferred at a $100,000/QALY threshold was 0.33. Treatment effectiveness based on adult data. Current recommendations for cardiac assessment may reduce CHF incidence, but less frequent assessment may be preferable. National Cancer Institute.
