Abstract
Background: An estimated 20–30% of end-stage lung disease patients awaiting lung transplant die whilst on the
waiting list due to a shortage of suitable donor lungs. Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion is a technique that reconditions donor
lungs initially not deemed usable in order to make them suitable for transplantation, thereby increasing the donor
pool. In this study, an economic evaluation was conducted as part of DEVELOP-UK, a multi-centre study assessing the
clinical and cost-effectiveness of the Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion technique in the United Kingdom.
Methods: We estimated the cost-effectiveness of a UK adult lung transplant service combining both standard and Ex-
Vivo Lung Perfusion transplants compared to a service including only standard lung transplants. A Markov model was
developed and populated with a combination of DEVELOP-UK, published and clinical routine data, and extrapolated to
a lifetime horizon. Probabilistic sensitivity and scenario analyses were used to explore uncertainty in the final outcomes.
Results: Base-case model results estimated life years gained of 0.040, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained of 0.045
and an incremental cost per QALY of £90,000 for Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion. Scenario analyses carried out suggest that an
improved rate of converting unusable donor lungs using Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion, similar resource use post-transplant
for both standard and EVLP lung transplant and applying increased waiting list costs would reduce ICERs to
approximately £30,000 or below.
Conclusion: DEVELOP-UK base-case results suggest that incorporating Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion into the UK adult lung
transplant service is more effective, increasing the number of donor lungs available for transplant, but would not
currently be considered cost-effective in the UK using the present NICE threshold. However, results were sensitive to
change in some model parameters and in several plausible scenario analyses results indicate that a service incorporating
Ex-vivo lung perfusion would be considered cost-effective .
