OBJECTIVE:To explore losses and gains (L&G) and L&G ratio induced by Essential Medicine System in a county. METHODS:By choosing a county in western China as sample area,field investigation was used to collect outpatient and inpatient visits,outpatient and inpatient income,drug income,total length of stay and medical insurance reimbursement criteria in primary medical institutions (township health centers,village health rooms) of the county during 2009-2015. By setting the year 2009 as the baseline year,the drug cost reimbursed by medical insurance was simulated and calculated when Essential Medicine System were not implemented;L&G and L&G ratio of medical insurance were calculated by comparing with actual drug cost reimbursed by medical insurance. RESULTS:The year 2012,in which the sample county fully implemented the Essential Medicine System was the turning year. Medical insurance funds lost in primary medical institutions of the county during 2010-2011(lost 437000,915000 yuan,respectively),but gained during 2012 to 2015(gained 199000,494000,858000,1290000 yuan, respectively);the L&G ratio increased from -0.67% to 1.21%. For reimbursed outpatient drug cost and inpatient cost,L&G of medical insurance were different. For reimbursed drug cost of village health room and township health center,L&G of medical insurance were also different. CONCLUSIONS:The implementation of Essential Medicine System benefits to medical insurance within the county and Medical insurance funds can be saved.
OBJECTIVE: To conduct the economic evaluation of recombinant human type Ⅱ tumor necrosis factor receptorantibody fusion protein (trade name: Etanercept) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.METHODS: By literature retrieval, foreign literatures about Etanercept "head to head" research or Chinese literatures about the comparison of recombinant human type Ⅱ tumor necrosis factor receptor-antibody fusion protein with infliximab and adalimumab were collected. The costs were localized, indicators of effectiveness were converted into quality-adjusted life year (QALY), then cost-utility analysis (CUA) and incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) were conducted. RESULTS: Three qualified literatures were acquired. The translational research of the first report of WU B and so forth (2012 year) showed that CUA of Etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab were 48. 2, 36. 6 and 104. 6 thousand yuan/QALY, and ICUR were 119. 8, 116. 4 and 313. 4 thousand yuan/QALY, respectively. The translational research of the second report of Santos-Moreno P and so forth (2015 year) showed that CUA of Etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab were 93. 1, 118. 2 and 249. 2 thousand yuan/QALY, and ICUR were 117. 5, 151. 3 and 327. 9 thousand yuan/QALY, respectively. The translational research of the third report of Santos-Moreno P and so forth (2016 year) showed that CUA of Etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab were 107. 0, 131. 6 and 273. 8 thousand yuan/QALY, and ICUR were 139. 6, 172. 5 and 369. 8 thousand yuan/QALY, respectively. ICUR of Etanercept were all smaller than 3 times of GDP 148. 1 thousand yuan in 2015. CONCLUSIONS: From the results of the study of these 3 literatures, compared with infliximab and adalimumab, Etanercept shows economy for rheumatoid arthritis.
Objective:To analyze the impact of Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Receptor Ⅱ:IgG Fc Fusion Protein (rhTNFR:Fc) on medical insurance budget.Methods:Rheumatic drugs were select from the IMS data 2015.The drug quantity unit was converted to defined daily dose(DDD).The quantity of rhTNFR:FC in IMS data 2015 was taken as the baseline.The expenditure growth and its impact on rheumatic drugs and all drugs were calculated under 90% and 80% reimbursement rate as the different incremental proportion of the quantity of rhTNFR:Fc.National health insurance expenditure data was derived from statistical data of government departments.Results:According to 90% reimbursement rate,medical insurance expenditure increased by 5.22~10.43 billion yuan.rheumatic drugs and all medical insurance drugs expenditure increased by 63.44~126.87% and 0.04~0.08% respectively while the consumption of rhTNFR:Fc increased 0-100% in 2015.The increment of medical insurance expenditure reduced accordingly under the reimbursement ratio of 80%.Conclusion:The budget impact of rhTNFR:Fc was great on medical insurance expenditure of rheumatic drugs,which was very limited on the medical insurance expenditure of all drugs.
Objective:To analyze losses and gains (L&G) of basic medical institutions induced by the Essen-tial Medicines Policy.Methods: Choosing some poverty-stricken county in western China as sample area to conduct field research,using 2009 as baseline year,to calculate L&G and L&G ratio of basic medical institutions caused by adjustments of drug policy,medical services prices, and government subsidies from 2009—2015. Results: Medical facilities have gained after the implementation of the Essential Medicines Policy as a whole. Gains were on an upward trend from 2009—2015,and L&G ratio increased from -2.15% in 2009 to 47.70% in 2015. For medical facilities at different levels, their gains attributed to different causes. Gains for medical facilities at village and town levels mainly attributed to government subsidies;gains for medical facilities at county level mainly attributed to adjustment of medical services prices. Conclusions:Implementation of the Essential Medicines Policy has helped adjust composi-tion of losses and gains of medical facilities. Moving forward,functions and development of medical facilities should be strengthened with a focus on adjusting medical services prices for medical facilities at town level.

Objective: To compare utility values measured by different instruments. Methods: Different instruments were used to measure utility values in 350 patients who were diagnosed as age-related macular degeneration at the same time. The median of utility values measured by different instruments was regarded as relative standard utility value to process comparison, analysis of variance, correlation analysis and curve estimation. Results: Most differences and correlations among utility values measured by different instruments were significant, as well as equations estimated from relative standard utility value and utility values measured by different instruments, but the degree of fitting was not high. Conclusion: The utility values of the same subject measured by different instruments are quite different. The results of the study could provide correction reference to the utility value measured by single instrument in the absence of absolute standard.
Objective: In order to understand the general situation of off-patent originals and generics in the domestic market, evidences for quality consistency evaluation for generics and related policies were provided. Methods: Through data reduction and analysis of Shanghai Purchasing Drug Information System (HPDIS), quantity, dosage form distribution and price ratios of generics and their off-patent originals were researched. Results: There are 300 generic names of off-patent originals in the domestic market. Half dosage forms of generics are tablets and capsules, 33% are injections, and the rest own a smaller proportion. The overall price ratio of generics and their off-patent originals in the same year and the same dosage form is about 60%, but there are also some great disparities and price inversions between generics and their off-patent originals. Conclusion: Quality consistency evaluation for generics will have a strong impact on quality, industry, pricing and expenditure of pharmaceuticals, parties concerned should predict and prepare for it.
