- W1641574195 abstract "Summary Objective To compare the cost‐effectiveness of malaria treatment based on presumptive diagnosis with that of malaria treatment based on rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). Methods We calculated direct costs (based on experience from Ethiopia and southern Sudan) and effectiveness (in terms of reduced over‐treatment) of a free, decentralised treatment programme using artesunate plus amodiaquine (AS + AQ) or artemether‐lumefantrine (ART‐LUM) in a Plasmodium falciparum epidemic. Our main cost‐effectiveness measure was the incremental cost per false positive treatment averted by RDTs. Results As malaria prevalence increases, the difference in cost between presumptive and RDT‐based treatment rises. The threshold prevalence above which the RDT‐based strategy becomes more expensive is 21% in the AS + AQ scenario and 55% in the ART‐LUM scenario, but these thresholds increase to 58 and 70%, respectively, if the financing body tolerates an incremental cost of 1 € per false positive averted. However, even at a high (90%) prevalence of malaria consistent with an epidemic peak, an RDT‐based strategy would only cost moderately more than the presumptive strategy: +29.9% in the AS + AQ scenario and +19.4% in the ART‐LUM scenario. The treatment comparison is insensitive to the age and pregnancy distribution of febrile cases, but is strongly affected by variation in non‐biomedical costs. If their unit price were halved, RDTs would be more cost‐effective at a malaria prevalence up to 45% in case of AS + AQ treatment and at a prevalence up to 68% in case of ART‐LUM treatment. Conclusion In most epidemic prevalence scenarios, RDTs would considerably reduce over‐treatment for only a moderate increase in costs over presumptive diagnosis. A substantial decrease in RDT unit price would greatly increase their cost‐effectiveness, and should thus be advocated. A tolerated incremental cost of 1 € is probably justified given overall public health and financial benefits. The RDTs should be considered for malaria epidemics if logistics and human resources allow." @default.
