Broadstreet at ISPOR 2023

Broadstreet at ISPOR 2023

ISPOR is back in person this year, taking place in Boston between May 7th to 10th. Members of the Broadstreet team are pleased to be presenting a number of posters and talks on a variety of topics this year ranging from epidemiological model methodology to the association between patient versus caregiver reported utility values.

Broadstreet authors will be giving two podium presentation this year on the following topics:

In this presentation we will discuss our study comparing patient- and caregiver-derived visual analogue scale and utility values for DMD health states. In studies of health-related quality of life and utility, in DMD and other conditions, caregivers frequently report on behalf of patients and in other therapeutic areas, research has identified that caregivers typically underreport utility compared with patients. We examined this relationship in DMD and found that patient and caregiver utility values demonstrate strong correlations and good concordance, particularly if patients are in ambulatory health states and when the instrument used is the Health Utilities Index.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023, 10:15 AM – 11:15 AM

This presentation focuses on a study motivated by the unavailability of head-to-head comparisons between recently approved immune checkpoint inhibitors for resectable non small cell lung cancer, neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy and adjuvant atezolizumab. Differences in “time-zero” precluded a traditional indirect treatment comparison of event free survival (EFS). The study presents a framework for time-zero adjusted indirect treatment comparisons which addresses differences in relative treatment effects over time, and two types of selection bias.

Event time: Monday, May 8, 2023 2:15 AM – 2:30 PM   We will also be presenting several posters on Broadstreet supported research:

The study sought to develop an epidemiological model for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data, that factors in incidence, survival, and cure likelihood and timing, to calculate an overall prevalence estimate of EOC with and without cured patients included. The methods described represent a robust prevalence estimation technique that uses survival curves to represent a range of survival trajectories, as opposed to the standard incidence x duration calculation for prevalence.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 9:45 AM – 1:15 PM

This project compared two approaches for refreshing database searches in OVID using a case study: a date-restricted approach with optional matching and an unrestricted approach with mandatory matching. The latter approach is recommended, as it is more sensitive than a date-restricted approach. If a date-restricted approach is preferred (e.g. if there are differences in the study record formatting across searches that preclude accurate matching), multiple date fields should be included to ensure comprehensive results.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 9:45 AM – 1:15 PM

This work aimed to evaluate the inclusion of occupational functioning aspects in adult health state utility instruments (HSUIs) and found that the Quality of Well Being scale, has definite and specific coverage for self-care, productivity, and leisure.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 9:45 AM – 1:15 PM

This scoping review characterized contemporary methodologies used for quantitatively synthesizing case report data and highlighted common approaches, potential value, and limitations of quantitative evidence synthesis of case report data.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 3:15 PM – 6:45 PM   Additionally, we are pleased to be presenting on a number of collaborations with clients:

This study, conducted in cooperation with our colleagues from Organon aimed to synthesize contemporary real-world estimates of economic burden among mothers diagnosed with PTL or infants born following a PTL diagnosis (whether born at term or preterm). We found that few studies have examined the economic burden of PTL and available estimates are variable.

Conducted with our colleagues from Bausch, this work estimated the cost-effectiveness of incorporating halobetasol/tazarotene (HP/TAZ) into treatment sequences of topical therapies among patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Québec, compared to the current standard of care (SC) treatment sequences without HP/TAZ. We found that incorporating HP/TAZ into SC treatment sequences yielded better treatment outcomes, leading to the delay of more costly therapies, which resulted in long-term cost savings.

Event time: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 3:15 PM – 6:45 PM

The study sought to understand how DMD-QoL utilities compare to those measured using a generic preference-based measure, the Health Utilities Index (HUI). HUI2 utility values declined with increasing DMD functional severity. Findings included that the HUI2 appears more sensitive to changes in functional status, but values estimated using the DMD-QoL may reflect a broader conceptualization of HRQoL

Event time: Wednesday, May 10, 2023 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM   If you have questions about any of these projects, please get in touch at info@broadstreetheor.com
