Abstract

Objectives To estimate lifelong costs and quality adjusted life years (QALYs) of hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and renal transplantation (Tx) in Greece, based on individual patient life expectancy.Methods A nationally representative patient sample on each modality, HD: NÂ =Â 642, PD: NÂ =Â 65 and Tx: NÂ =Â 167, was self-administered the SF-36 Health Survey, from which the preference-based SF-6D utility index was derived. Lifelong QALYs were estimated from literature-based expected remaining life years according to age, gender and modality. Cost analyses were performed from the perspective of the health system. Costs and QALYs were discounted at 5% and sensitivity analyses were performed.Results Estimated lifelong QALYs were 4.37 (HD), 3.94 (PD) and 16.11 (Tx) (PÂ
