Given the prevalence and clinical severity, it is no surprise that CHF presents a significant economic burden to the Portuguese National Health System (NHS). In 2014, total direct costs for CHF were nearly 299 million euros, 39% of which were attributed to hospitalizations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The burden of CHF is expected to increase over time, with projections of a growth in both prevalence<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> and costs<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> by roughly 30% through 2035-2036.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Primary care physicians face significant challenges to correctly diagnose CHF early in the disease course. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> the current diagnosis algorithm begins with the clinical evaluation of a patient's signs and symptoms, clinical history, physical evaluation, and complementary tests, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), chest x-ray, and blood analysis. However, these tests have low specificity for CHF. General practitioners (GP) are often required to rely on intuition and judgement, monitoring the patient's symptoms until they decide it is the appropriate time to request an echocardiogram (ECHO).</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Echocardiogram is currently the gold standard for diagnosing CHF. Although generally available in Portugal, it is a relatively costly procedure; testing a large portion of suspected patients can result in a high degree of unnecessary use of healthcare resource and spending on patients that do not have CHF.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Natriuretic peptides (NP) are established biomarkers for evaluating patients with suspected heart failure (HF). B type NP (BNP) and its derivative, N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP), are released by the ventricles in response to volume and pressure overload. ESC guidelines recommend NP as complementary tests for the differential diagnosis of CHF, before ECHO.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> NT-proBNP has a very high sensitivity (99%) for HF when using a 125ng/mL threshold, with results below this cut-off indicating that HF is very unlikely. Thus, the use of NT-proBNP is expected to increase diagnostic specificity, which translates clinically to a reduction in unnecessary ECHOs, without compromising sensitivity, i.e., number of true cases detected. Compared to BNP, NT-proBNP has the advantage of not being affected by newer drug classes such as neprilysin inhibitors, making it a preferable biomarker for routine clinical practice.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> However, in Portugal, NP testing is not reimbursed in the primary care setting.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Objectives</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The objective of this study is to assess the potential budget impact and financial implications associated with adopting NT-proBNP in the diagnostic journey for suspected CHF patients in primary care, from the perspective of the NHS in Portugal.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0075">Methods</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A budget impact analysis was performed to estimate the potential cost savings of using NT-proBNP in the diagnostic work up for suspected CHF patients. The model was developed to test the hypothesis that using NT-proBNP in the diagnostic journey would yield more accurate clinical decisions, reducing unnecessary ECHO on patients without the disease (reducing false positives) and giving an earlier and correct diagnosis to patients with the disease (reducing false negatives), allowing CHF patients to start treatment sooner and ultimately obtain better outcomes.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The decision tree analytic model was developed in TreeAge Pro 2017 (TreeAge Software, Inc, Williamstown, MA, USA) to capture all costs of the patient journey over one-year (2019), beginning at the first symptoms presentation and following patients through diagnosis and treatment within that year.

Three scenarios were compared in the analysis. First, in the current standard of care (SoC) scenario, clinicians were assumed to rely on clinical judgment (patient history, risk factors, physical exam) to assess disease probability and request ECHO to confirm or exclude HF diagnosis. The SoC was compared to two scenarios where NT-proBNP was used according to the ESC algorithm, prior to ECHO evaluation, including when performed at an external lab facility (Lab) or performed at the health center with a point-of-care device (PoC).</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The primary outcome was the estimated budget impact in terms of change in total costs for the NHS, including diagnosis (medical visits and exams), treatment and hospitalization related to decompensated CHF.

Also, following the ESC guidelines,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> it is assumed that HFrEF patients were treated with angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and betablockers (βB), whereas patients with HFpEF were treated with diuretics. Treatment costs for comorbidities, e.g., hypertension or coronary artery disease, were not considered. The time to return with test results from NT-proBNP (external lab) and ECHO was assumed to be 15 days after the test was ordered (per expert's opinion).</p><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Scenario one: standard of care – without NT-proBNP</span><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Upon entering the model, all patients with signs/symptoms suggestive of CHF underwent a complete clinical and physical evaluation by the GP, including a request for lab tests, electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest X-ray. ECHO was requested at the initial visit if probability of disease is estimated by GP as moderate/high (MHP). For modeling purposes, MHP was defined as a Boston Criteria for Diagnosing Heart Failure<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0195"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> score I+II≥5 points (e.g. rest dyspnea and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea). We assume 35.8% meet this criterion according to EPICA data.

Of these, the majority (75%; [48.1% of total patients]) was assumed to have ECHO requested at Visit 2 (2 months). The remaining were expected to have ECHO requested at Visits 3 and 4 (5 and 11 months, respectively) using the same 75% split (12.3% and 1.3% of total patients, respectively), provided that no hospitalization due to decompensated CHF occurred at the end of the one-year period without treatment. For patients that were hospitalized at the end of the period, ECHO is assumed to be requested at the hospital admission where diagnosis was finally reached. Upon ECHO results, patients exited the model as described for MHP.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For MHP and LP, once CHF was confirmed by ECHO, patients were considered to begin and stay on treatment over the rest of the one-year period.

After ECHO results, patients exited the model as true positives starting treatment as described above, or false positives. i.e. NT-proBNP+ECHO- (unnecessary ECHO). Subjects with a negative NT-proBNP test (<125 pg/ml) exited the model if they were true negatives, while false negatives followed the same monitoring approach as the LP group in the SoC arm.</p></span><span id="sec0040" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0100">Scenario three: with NT-proBNP at the lab</span><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The NT-proBNP Lab scenario was similar to the PoC decision tree, but included an additional FU visit to review the test results (as it was performed at an external facility), with an ECHO requested at that point.

First, by obtaining an earlier diagnosis and earlier treatment, these patients were assumed to be less likely to have a hospitalization than when untreated. The effect of diuretics was not considered for HFpEF patients. Thus, the likelihood of having a hospitalization within the one-year period was directly related to the time spent on treatment. Second, if no CHF diagnosis was made prior to the patient having a hospitalization, the assumption was made that the diagnosis occurred at the time of admission.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For the base case we assumed a constant treatment effect for hospitalization, with a relative risk of 0.645 and 0.681 for HFrEF patients that were treated vs. untreated at 6 and 12 months, respectively.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> To estimate the hospitalization rate in a 12 month period, a weighted hospitalization rate based on Bayes’ theorem was calculated, considering the probability of not having a hospitalization in the first six months, as the patient was undiagnosed in the first period, and the probability of a treated patient having a hospitalization in the second 6 months. Due to the lack of specific data, patients treated for at least 8 months were assumed to have the same benefit as someone treated for the entire 12-month horizon; patients treated for six to eight months were assumed to receive the same benefit as someone treated for six months (implemented as a weighted calculation with six months untreated and six months treated); and patients treated for less than six months were not assumed to observe a benefit and the 12 month untreated rate was assumed.

Furthermore, 100% of subjects without CHF had the disease correctly discarded at one month for NT-proBNP groups (60% NT-proBNP-; 40% NT-proBNP+ECHO-), compared to 32% in the SoC.

These savings would be largely driven by allowing patients to be diagnosed and treated earlier leading to better patient outcomes. Compared to SoC, the NT-proBNP scenarios were associated with earlier rule-in and rule-out of CHF, resulting in a decrease in the burden of office visits and unnecessary ECHO, and, due to earlier treatment initiation, a reduction of avoidable hospitalizations and mortality.</p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although the first of this type of analysis in Portugal, the findings of this study are in agreement with similar studies published in other countries and health systems showing a reduction of 25-31% in ECHO procedures and 13% in hospitalizations.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0215"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14,22–28</span></a> In spite of the particularities of each health system structure and/or economic analysis methodology and parameters, all of them assessed NT-proBNP favorably in the primary care setting.</p><p id="par0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Importantly, NT-proBNP performed at the PoC is expected to result in a relevant reduction in the number of medical visits compared to the Lab, which generates substantial additional savings.

Furthermore, there are complexities and additional factors that may not have been considered in this model that apply to certain clinical scenarios and subpopulations.</p><p id="par0215" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Some conservative assumptions were made in this analysis that could potentially lead to greater cost savings. First, the analysis covers a short time period of only one year and as CHF is a chronic condition, the potential economic advantage of earlier diagnosis and treatment of CHF patients could go well beyond a one year by slowing down disease progression and avoiding costly downstream hospitalizations and procedures. Moreover, this analysis only includes the consequences of diagnosing and treating CHF patients earlier – thereby avoiding unnecessary ECHO testing and hospitalizations. However, greater cost savings and clinical benefits are expected when considering the pool of patients without CHF that would receive their proper diagnosis and treatment earlier. In addition, emergent treatment classes (angiotensin receptor neurolysin inhibitors and sodium-glucose transport protein 2) can lead to greater decreases in hospitalizations and mortality beyond that anticipated by our model. Aligned with the perspective of the NHS, this model only captures direct costs, and therefore does not account for indirect costs, such as lost productivity or impact on quality of life, for which there could also be a substantial benefit.</p><p id="par0220" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main limitation of this analysis is that performance data for NT-proBNP are not available in the primary care setting in Portugal. We selected the 125 pg/mL cut-off value recommended by the ESC and used sensitivity/specificity data from a recent meta-analysis based on three studies in primary care with NT-proBNP.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0205"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> As different cut-offs may be used in other countries, this must be considered when comparing the results versus international literature.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0285"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> Also, the sensitivity/specificity data used refer to NT-proBNP from a specific manufacturer (Roche®), and therefore results are not directly transferable to other commercially available natriuretic peptides.</p><p id="par0225" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Several other variables were inputted from different sources that may introduce some bias to the model. However, the most critical variables – prevalence, distribution of visits, hospitalization rate, test sensitivity and specificity – were tested in different sensitivity analysis over a broad range of values that showed preserved savings in most scenarios, suggesting the results of the base case are robust.</p></span></span><span id="sec0100" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0160">Conclusion</span><p id="par0230" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Using NT-proBNP in primary care for CHF diagnosis could result in considerable costs savings and resource optimization for the national health system in Portugal.
