While empiric therapy is associated with the best cost-utility ratio, doing a culture yields the greatest utility at greater incremental cost per QALM. Many primary care physicians already treat UTIs empirically with antibiotics.
Using the outcome of cost per quality-adjusted life month ($/QALM), the most cost-effective strategy was empiric therapy (strategy 1) at $71.52 per QALM. This strategy is preferred over all others.
Each of these alternative decisions, while having greater effectiveness, have incremental costs of approximately $3000 per additional QALM, or $36,000 per additional QALY (with the exception of the dipstick urinalysis strategy, which has a marginal cost-effectiveness of $48,000 per additional QALM).
We also identified the following analytic outcomes: quality-adjusted life months (QALMs; on a scale of 0 to 1, the quality of life experienced by the patient over the 1-month period of the decision model); cost (from the payer's perspective); and cost per quality-adjusted life month ($/QALM).
