Common diagnostic approaches differ in their costs and effectiveness in detecting cancer. Given the low prevalence of GU malignant abnormality among patients with AMH, it is important to quantify the cost implications of detecting cancer for each approach.</p><h3>Objective</h3><p>To estimate the effectiveness, costs, and incremental cost per cancer detected (ICCD) for 4 common diagnostic approaches evaluating AMH.</p><h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3><p>A decision-analytic model-based cost-effectiveness analysis using inputs from the medical literature. PubMed searches were performed to identify relevant literature for all key model inputs, each of which was derived from the clinical study with the most robust data and greatest applicability. Analysis included adult patients with AMH on routine urinalysis with subgroups of high-risk patients (males, smokers, age ≥50 years) seen in the primary care or urologic referral setting.</p><h3>Interventions</h3><p>Four diagnostic approaches were evaluated relative to the reference case of no evaluation: (1) computed tomography (CT) alone; (2) cystoscopy alone; (3) CT and cystoscopy combined; and (4) renal ultrasound and cystoscopy combined.</p><h3>Main Outcomes and Measures</h3><p>At termination of the diagnostic period, cancers detected, costs (payer perspective), and ICCD per 10 000 patients evaluated for AMH.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>Of the 4 diagnostic approaches analyzed, CT alone was dominated by all other strategies, detecting 221 cancers at a cost of $9 300 000. Ultrasound and cystoscopy detected 245 cancers and was most cost-effective with an ICCD of $53 810. Replacing ultrasound with CT detected just 1 additional cancer at an ICCD of $6 480 484. Ultrasound and cystoscopy remained the most cost-effective approach in subgroup analysis. The model was not sensitive to any inputs within the proposed ranges. Using probabilistic sensitivity analysis, ultrasound and cystoscopy was the dominant strategy in 100% of simulations.</p><h3>Conclusions and Relevance</h3><p>The combination of renal ultrasound and cystoscopy is the most cost-effective among 4 diagnostic approaches for the initial evaluation of AMH. The use of ultrasound in lieu of CT as the first-line diagnostic strategy will optimize cancer detection and reduce costs associated with evaluation of AMH. Given our findings, we need to critically evaluate the appropriateness of our current clinical practices, and potentially alter our guidelines to reflect the most effective screening strategies for patients with AMH.</p>" /><meta name="citation_journal_title" content="JAMA Internal Medicine" /><meta name="citation_journal_abbrev" content="JAMA Intern Med" /><meta name="citation_volume" content="177" /><meta name="citation_issue" content="6" /><meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2017/06/01" /><meta name="citation_issn" content="2168-6106" /><meta name="citation_publisher" content="American Medical Association" /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Isolated asymptomatic microhematuria: a cross-sectional analysis of test-positive and test-negative patients.;

malignant abnormality. Common diagnostic approaches differ in their costs and effectiveness in detecting cancer. Given the low prevalence of GU malignant abnormality among patients with AMH, it is important to quantify the cost implications of detecting cancer for each approach.</span></p><p><strong>Objective</strong> <span>To estimate the effectiveness, costs, and incremental cost per cancer detected (ICCD) for 4 common diagnostic approaches evaluating AMH.</span></p><p><strong>Design, Setting, and Participants</strong> <span>A decision-analytic model-based cost-effectiveness analysis using inputs from the medical literature. PubMed searches were performed to identify relevant literature for all key model inputs, each of which was derived from the clinical study with the most robust data and greatest applicability. Analysis included adult patients with AMH on routine urinalysis with subgroups of high-risk patients (males, smokers, age ≥50 years) seen in the primary care or urologic referral setting.</span></p><p><strong>Interventions</strong> <span>Four diagnostic approaches were evaluated relative to the reference case of no evaluation: (1) computed tomography (CT) alone; (2) cystoscopy alone; (3) CT and cystoscopy combined; and (4) renal ultrasound and cystoscopy combined.</span></p><p><strong>Main Outcomes and Measures</strong> <span>At termination of the diagnostic period, cancers detected, costs (payer perspective), and ICCD per 10 000 patients evaluated for AMH.</span></p><p><strong>Results</strong> <span>Of the 4 diagnostic approaches analyzed, CT alone was dominated by all other strategies, detecting 221 cancers at a cost of $9 300 000. Ultrasound and cystoscopy detected 245 cancers and was most cost-effective with an ICCD of $53 810. Replacing ultrasound with CT detected just 1 additional cancer at an ICCD of $6 480 484. Ultrasound and cystoscopy remained the most cost-effective approach in subgroup analysis. The model was not sensitive to any inputs within the proposed ranges. Using probabilistic sensitivity analysis, ultrasound and cystoscopy was the dominant strategy in 100% of simulations.</span></p><p><strong>Conclusions and Relevance</strong> <span>The combination of renal ultrasound and cystoscopy is the most cost-effective among 4 diagnostic approaches for the initial evaluation of AMH. The use of ultrasound in lieu of CT as the first-line diagnostic strategy will optimize cancer detection and reduce costs associated with evaluation of AMH. Given our findings, we need to critically evaluate the appropriateness of our current clinical practices, and potentially alter our guidelines to reflect the most effective screening strategies for patients with AMH.</span></p> <div class="movable-ad-target bta"> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="181555332"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Introduction </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="181555333"></a> <p class="para"><a name="q1"><span style="display:none;">Quiz Ref ID</span></a><span class="quizSection">Asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (AMH), the presence of 3 or more red blood cells on urinalysis in the absence of genitourinary (GU) symptoms, is highly prevalent, with population-based studies estimating that up to 40.9% of US adults have this finding on urinalysis.</span><sup><a href="#ioi170015r1" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">1</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#ioi170015r2" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">2</a></sup> Among potential etiologies for AMH, GU malignant abnormality is of particular concern, with studies showing that 0% to 11% of patients with AMH had malignant abnormalities.<sup><a href="#ioi170015r3" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">3</a></sup><sup>-<a href="#ioi170015r3" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">6</a></sup></p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="181555334"></a> <p class="para">The high prevalence of AMH and its role as a potential harbinger of malignant abnormality confers great importance on the diagnostic algorithm for its evaluation.

Second, owing to the heterogeneity of GU malignant abnormalities and the paucity of literature examining the impact of early detection on quality-adjusted life-years (QALY), we used the primary outcome of cancers detected in lieu of QALY as a measure of effectiveness.</span> Although it is optimal for contextualizing population-based effects of AMH evaluation, this approach did not differentiate effectiveness and costs among patients with distinct types of GU cancers, nor did it model downstream costs of delayed cancer diagnosis.

Though sensitivity analyses compensated for these data, further studies are needed to better determine the utility of ultrasound in this setting. Fourth, owing to limitations of NAMCS, estimates of national expenditures presume evaluation of all patients with microscopic hematuria, including symptomatic patients, which may inflate this estimate. Furthermore, we included only visits to urologists, which likely excluded a considerable number of patients who may undergo AMH evaluation by other providers (eg, gynecologists). This portion of the analysis is intended as an estimate for illustrative purposes and may not precisely capture national cost savings associated with distinct diagnostic strategies, which would require more robust analysis with cost-driven data inputs. Fifth, the time horizon for our analysis could not account for the potential costs and morbidity associated with radiation from CT. On a population level over time, the incidence of secondary malignant abnormalities owing to radiation exposure would be substantial.
