Results Base Case: Cost-Utility Analysis of a Respiratory Panel Test for COPD

A model-based cost-utility analysis evaluating the Biofire Film Array Respiratory Panel RP 2.1+ test for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The dataset contains results from a 40-year healthcare perspective model, including cost and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) differences. It was authored by Raymond Oppong and last updated on 2026-04-27.

Use Cases

• Compare cost-effectiveness of diagnostic tests based on the reported cost and QALY differences.
• Model the economic impact of antimicrobial resistance based on the described penalty point and cost-saving approaches.
• Validate health economic models for respiratory infections using the provided base case results.

Strengths

• Includes specific numerical results: a cost difference of £2762.40 and a QALY difference of 0.03.
• Explicitly accounts for antimicrobial resistance using two distinct methodological approaches.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
