Cost-effectiveness of Zvandiri, a community-based support intervention to reduce virological failure in adolescents living with HIV in Zimbabwe
Improving antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) improves outcomes, but with resource implications. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis extrapolating the costs and benefits of a community-based peer-support intervention (Zvandiri) among ALHIV in Zimbabwe. We used a de-novo multistate Markov decision-analytic model that simulated Zvandiri lifetime costs and benefits on viral suppression, death rates…
Individual and population level costs and health-related quality of life outcomes of third-generation cephalosporin resistant bloodstream infection in Blantyre, Malawi
Data which accurately enumerate the economic costs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle- income countries are essential. This study aimed to quantify the impact of third-generation cephalosporin resistant (3GC-R) bloodstream infection (BSI) on economic and health related quality of life outcomes for adult patients in Blantyre, Malawi. Participants were recruited from a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of hospitalised patient…
Pragmatic economic evaluation of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing in Malawi
INTRODUCTION: Community-based strategies can extend coverage of HIV testing and diagnose HIV at earlier stages of infection but can be costly to implement. We evaluated the costs and effects of community-led delivery of HIV self-testing (HIVST) in Mangochi District, Malawi. METHODS: This economic evaluation was based within a pragmatic cluster-randomised trial of 30 group village heads and their catchment areas comparing the community-led HIVST i…
Costs of integrating HIV self-testing in public health facilities in Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
INTRODUCTION: As countries approach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets, there is a need for innovative and cost-saving HIV testing approaches that can increase testing coverage in hard-to-reach populations. The HIV Self-Testing Africa-Initiative distributed HIV self-test (HIVST) kits using unincentivised HIV testing counsellors across 31 public facilities in Malawi, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. HIVST was distributed either through secondary (partn…
Costs of accessing HIV testing services among rural Malawi communities
HIV testing is free in Malawi, but users may still incur costs that can deter or delay them accessing these services. We sought to identify and quantify these costs among HIV testing service clients in Malawi. We asked residents of communities participating in a cluster randomised trial investigating the impact of HIV self-testing about their past HIV testing experiences and the direct non-medical and indirect costs incurred to access HIV testing…
Uptake, Accuracy, Safety, and Linkage into Care over Two Years of Promoting Annual Self-Testing for HIV in Blantyre, Malawi
BACKGROUND: Home-based HIV testing and counselling (HTC) achieves high uptake, but is difficult and expensive to implement and sustain. We investigated a novel alternative based on HIV self-testing (HIVST). The aim was to evaluate the uptake of testing, accuracy, linkage into care, and health outcomes when highly convenient and flexible but supported access to HIVST kits was provided to a well-defined and closely monitored population. METHODS AND…

PP02 Cost-Effectiveness of New left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADS) for Patients with advanced Heart Failure
Background Public health measures aim to prevent people from reaching tertiary prevention or palliative or heroic care. Nevertheless these remain the only options for some people. There is an expanding population with very severe heart failure and although heart transplant is the optimal treatment, this option is dependent on a diminishing supply of donor hearts. For more than a decade, the NHS has supported the transplant programme for patients …
Estimating EQ-5D utility values for major health behavioural risk factors in England
BACKGROUND: Major behavioural risk factors, namely obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, lack of fruit and vegetable intake and physical inactivity negatively impact on self-reported quality of life. However, little is known about their impact on preference-based measures of health-related quality of life commonly used to inform economic evaluations. METHODS: Preference-based health-related quality of life outcomes associated with major behaviou…
The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS)
Background The outcomes framework for the new public health and mental health strategies in England (Healthy Lives Healthy People and No Health without Mental Health) both propose monitoring positive mental health. The Office of National Statistics is currently consulting on approaches to the measurement of wellbeing. Public mental health projects and interventions at local level require measurement of mental wellbeing The Warwick-Edinburgh Menta…
