of cases without using 5-ALA&#44; according to the VISIONA study&#44; the mean cost per CR achieved currently amounts to about &#8364;40<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>000 &#40;&#8776;<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>&#8364;18<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>000&#47;0&#46;45&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0145" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">With regard to the cost per QALY gained&#44; the estimated value we obtain &#40;about &#8364;9000&#41; is well below the cost-effectiveness threshold usually considered acceptable in Spain&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0160"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> The United Kingdom&#39;s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence&#44; another reference&#44; normally places the threshold for public funding of new drugs at &#163;30<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>000 per QALY&#46; However&#44; more flexible criteria have been applied recently in cases of malignant gliomas&#46;</p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Results from the main analysis were shown to be robust in the sensitivity analysis although the latter reflects the impact of larger variations than had been expected based on available clinical data&#46; The range of values we studied includes not only the results observed in all subgroups analysed in the VISIONA study&#44; but also those reported by Stummer et al&#46; That study cannot be overlooked since it is the only prospective randomised controlled multicentre phase <span class="elsevierStyleSmallCaps">III</span> trial in the literature comparing malignant glioma surgery using 5-ALA-induced fluorescence to conventional surgery&#46; It should also be emphasised that results from the VISIONA study are consistent with the study by Stummer et al&#46; regarding improvements in CR and PFS&#46;</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In order to allow for variability in activity levels and available equipment in Spanish hospitals&#44; our sensitivity analysis also contemplated the situation for hospitals that currently lack a surgical microscope adapted for fluorescence-guided microsurgery&#46; Even in the scenario least favourable to 5-ALA use&#44; the additional costs per procedure&#44; which derive from adapting the existing equipment&#44; are not excessively high and therefore do not have a substantial impact on cost-effectiveness and cost-utility ratios&#46;</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main limitation of our analysis is directly related to the limitations of the VISIONA study&#44; our source of clinical data&#46; Since VISIONA is a retrospective observational study&#44; its results depend on the quality and quantity of the data obtained&#44; which will invariably be lower than the quality and quantity of data from a prospective controlled study&#46; Additionally&#44; the 2 patient groups were not completely homogeneous with respect to some of the factors that may impact outcome variables&#46; However&#44; any such differences would have served as a bias for 5-ALA surgery&#46;</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">On the other hand&#44; the VISIONA study has several advantages compared to the study by Stummer et al&#46; Firstly&#44; data were collected from normal clinical practice in Spanish hospitals and therefore constitute a better basis for predicting the economic impact of 5-ALA surgery&#46; Secondly&#44; treatment for patients with malignant glioma has evolved since the study by Stummer et al&#46; was published&#46; At present&#44; patients undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide after surgery&#44; whereas patients included in the study by Stummer et al&#46; only underwent surgery and radiotherapy&#46; The percentage of 5-ALA patients with PFS at 6 months after surgery in the VISIONA study is higher than that reported in the study on temozolomide efficacy by Stupp et al&#46;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> which defines the current standard&#46; This finding is especially relevant for confirming that outcomes showing benefits for 5-ALA apply to the current situation&#44; since it supports the idea that the utility of CR does not decrease when effective chemotherapy treatment is used&#46;</p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Regarding our statistical analysis&#44; we should highlight that the difference in PFS between the 5-ALA and the white-light groups was estimated exclusively on the basis of empirical observations from the VISIONA study&#46; We did not extrapolate survival curves&#44; so our implicit assumption was that patients with a PFS<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>&#62;<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>2 years would not experience further gains in PFS time due to 5-ALA use&#46; This is clearly a very conservative hypothesis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0170"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a></p><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lastly&#44; in order to transform increases in PFS achieved with 5-ALA into gains in QALY&#44; PFS increases were weighted using utilities taken from a quality of life study conducted in the United Kingdom&#46; In any case&#44; we are aware that the method used to measure utility values in this study may be questioned&#44; and that the study results do not necessarily reflect the Spanish population&#39;s preferences regarding health states&#46; Our sensitivity analysis has shown that potential discrepancies between countries are very unlikely to have a relevant impact on the results of this pharmacoeconomic analysis&#46; Nevertheless&#44; future studies should evaluate quality of life in Spanish patients at different stages of treatment for malignant glioma&#46;</p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; we can state that employing fluorescence-guided malignant glioma surgery with 5-ALA will result in moderate cost increases compared to the cost of current surgical practice&#44; and that this technique is cost-effective&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0055" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Funding</span><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study was financed by <span class="elsevierStyleGrantSponsor" id="gs1">Laboratorios Gebro Pharma&#44;
