OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyse the cost-
effectiveness of consecutive supplementing of the Framingham
scoring (FRS) algorithm for coronary artery disease (CAD) risk
assessment with apolipoproteins B and A-I (apoA-I and apoB),
the apo (a) phenotype, lipoprotein (a), and high sensitivity C-
reactive protein (hs-CRP). The perspective of the analysis is the
clinical laboratory setting. METHODS: The study is prospective
diagnosing of 221 CAD patients and 289 controls. First line
testing followed the guidelines for risk assessment based on FRS.
Risk factors included in the FRS are: age, total cholesterol, high
density cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, treatment for hyper-
tension and cigarette smoking. FRS classifies individuals into
those with 10-year risk for CAD of >20% event risk (high risk
group), 10–20% event risk (intermediate risk group) and <10%
event risk (low risk group). The FRS algorithm was supple-
mented with apolipoproteins, lipoproteins a...nd hs-CRP and the
effectiveness was measured in number needed to diagnose
(NND). Total cost of diagnostic procedure was calculated on the
basis of the consumed resources for diagnostic tests, labor time,
and consumables. To evaluate the additional number needed to
be diagnosed for successful CAD risk establishment was per-
formed and incremental cost-effectiveness analysis. RESULTS:
A diagnostic strategy employing FRS followed by apoA-I had
lowest cost per additionally successfully diagnoses patient than
the same strategy followed by hs-CRP in the low (2.63 vs. 24.47
euros) and intermediate risk groups (2.93 vs. 122.86 euros). In
the high-risk group the diagnostic strategy employing apo A-I
was the cost-effective strategy. It had a lower ICER (-9.14 euros)
than the strategy employing hs-CRP (7.16 euros). CONCLUSION: Cost-effectiveness analysis of different diagnostic markers
results in improved identification of at-risk patients at a lower
health cost for society. In the clinical laboratory setting it is
sufficient to determine apoA-I concentration in addition to FRS
for CAD risk assessment.
