The Sоuth Africаn Nаtiоnаl Department оf Health is exploring effective and cost-efficient ways to manage the rising burden of Type 2 Diabetes. As part of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) process, they are considering two interventions from two separate articles provided: i. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) (focusing on lifestyle changes and metformin) andii. The Cost-Minimisation Analysis of Metformin vs. Acarbose.You are tasked with using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) approach to assist the Ministry in deciding which intervention to prioritise. Evaluate both studies in the context of the South African healthcare system, focusing on the potential implementation of these interventions.Instructions:· Apply the PICO approach to each study and respond to the questions below.· Use the articles provided (Cost-Effectiveness of Diabetes Prevention by Herman et al.(CEA DIABETES) and Cost-Minimisation of Metformin and Acarbose (COST MINI DIABETES)) as the basis for your evaluation.PICO Framework:1. P (Population) – Who are the target patients or population groups?2. I (Intervention) – What is the intervention being considered?3. C (Comparator) – What is the standard treatment or comparator?4. O (Outcome) – What are the expected outcomes (both clinical and economic)?1. Define the PICO elements for each of the two studies (10 marks):For each of the two studies, define the following:Population (2 marks)Intervention (2 marks)Comparator (2 marks)Outcome (4 marks)2. Using the PICO analysis, recommend which intervention would be more effective and suitable for implementation in South Africa based on the following (10 marks):Cost-effectiveness (4 marks): Which intervention offers better value for money based on the studies?Impact on patient outcomes (3 marks): Which intervention shows the greatest potential for improving patient quality of life and reducing the burden of diabetes?Feasibility of implementation (3 marks): Which intervention is more feasible given the healthcare infrastructure and resource constraints in South Africa?
100 Peоple in the Nkаngаlа District suffer frоm Filariasis, a nоn-fatal but painful condition. Currently, medical practitioners recommend bed rest (Utility score of 0.40) to patients, but surgical treatment (R10,000 per course per person, Utility score of 0.80) and pharmaceutical treatment (R5,000 per course per person, Utility score of 0.50) options exist. The decision makers have determined that they are willing to pay up to R1,500 per Quality Adjusted Life Year and have asked your opinion about the treatment options.Assume treatments are mutually exclusive and life expectancy is 30 additional years.4.1 Calculate the incremental cost-utility ratio for both the surgical option and the pharmaceutical option, relative to the standard of care. (7)4.2 How would you advise the decision makers in Nkangala district regarding which Filariasis treatment option to adopt? (2)
