第六章 結論與建議
第二節 建議
本研究為針對國內對於使用 temsirolimus 於治療晚期腎細胞癌之成本效益分析,
但所蒐集之參數部分因取得不易而以國外參數代替。因此,期待未來研究可以增加與著重 國內參數的取得及運用,以提升研究結果並更趨於國內真實之現況與需求。
雖然本研究藉由決策模式計算方案間之遞增成本效益比(ICER)以進行經濟評估,可獲 知使用 temsirolimus 作為治療晚期腎細胞癌的方案將不具有成本效益,但對於未來進行相 關藥物或健康照護介入方案的成本效益分析研究之建議,若能增加評估方案之預算衝擊的 分析,以提供一個更完備的成本效益評估範本,將可增加健康照護政策決策者對於方案在 療效與成本之間的考量依據。
