OBJECTIVE: To compare the costs of pharmacotherapy in patients with Parkinson's disease before and after converting from standard Sinemet to extended-release Sinemet CR. DESIGN: Investigators retrospectively reviewed records of patients converting from Sinemet to Sinemet CR for efficacy and total drug costs. Cost-effectiveness was evaluated retrospectively from data collected in prospective Sinemet CR efficacy trials. SETTING: Parkinson's disease clinic at a tertiary care university teaching hospital. PATIENTS: 100 patients with motor fluctuations who had undergone an initial 6-month course of Sinemet therapy, followed by a 6-month course of Sinemet CR. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Total cost was measured as the cost of Sinemet formulations plus the costs of other antiparkinson medications. Differences in pre- and postconversion costs were compared by using the paired, two-tailed Student's t-test. A substudy of 39 patients on the cost-effectiveness of conversion measured the ratio of daily medication costs to the daily hours “on” without chorea. RESULTS: While total daily medication costs after conversion increased by 21%, patients experienced either a comparable or an improved degree of disease control with Sinemet CR. Patients who were also taking selegiline were able to decrease selegiline expense by 20%. The costs of other adjunctive medications did not differ significantly after conversion. The cost-effectiveness analysis revealed an increase in postconversion on time by 2.2 hours (p = 0.0001), accompanied by a $2.85 decrease in total cost per hour on without chorea (p = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS: Although Sinemet CR is more costly, it may be more cost-effective in patients with motor fluctuations. Some patients may be able to reduce adjunctive medications.

Abstract Background Current guidelines recommend that every person with Parkinson’s disease (PD) should have access to Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist (PDNS) care. However, there is little scientific evidence on the cost-effectiveness of PDNS care. This hampers wider implementation, creates unequal access to care and possibly leads to avoidable disability and costs. Therefore, we aim to study the (cost-)effectiveness of specialized nursing care provided by a PDNS compared to usual care (without PDNS) for people with PD in all disease stages. To gain more insight into the deployed interventions and their effects, a pre-planned subgroup analysis will be performed based on disease duration (diagnosis <5, 5-10, or >10 years ago). Methods We will perform an 18-month, single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial in eight community hospitals in the Netherlands. A total of 240 people with PD that have not been treated by a PDNS over the past two years will be included, independent of disease severity or duration. In each hospital, 30 patients will randomly be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either care by a PDNS (who works according to a recent guideline on PDNS care) or usual care. We will use two co-primary outcomes: quality of life (measured with the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39) and motor symptoms (measured with the MDS-UPDRS part III). Secondary outcomes include non-motor symptoms, health-related quality of life, experienced quality of care, self-management, medication adherence, caregiver burden and coping skills. Data will be collected after 12 months and 18 months by a blinded researcher. A healthcare utilization and productivity loss questionnaire will be completed every 3 months. Discussion The results of this trial will have an immediate impact on the current care of people with PD. We hypothesize that, by offering more patients access to PDNS care, quality of life will increase. We also expect healthcare costs to remain equal, as increases in direct medical costs (funding additional nurses) will be offset by a reduced number of consultations with the general practitioner and neurologist. If these outcomes are reached, wide implementation of PDNS care is warranted. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03830190. Registered February 5, 2019 – Retrospectively registered, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03830190.
