Scientific title | Cost-effectiveness study on the provox®2 and the Groningen ultra low resistance tracheoesophageal shunt prostheses |
Study objectives | Hypothesis 1: the Groningen Ultra Low Resistance (ULR) and the Provox®2 are the same in terms of the replacement method, the burden on the patient and the convenience of the replacement and of the resistance during phonation. Hypothesis 2: the Groningen ULR has a longer lifetime than the Provox®2 and is thus less expensive in use. Hypothesis 3: the quality of life of the patient is higher while using the Groningen ULR than when using the Provox®2. |
Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Tracheoesophageal shunt prostheses following laryngectomy |
Intervention | Prospective randomised cross-over design with a group of 80 patients aged 45 to 70 out of our population of over 134 post laryngectomy patients that have been using a TracheoEsophageal Shunt Prostheses (TESP) for their phonation for at least six months. The patients are randomly divided into four groups according to the following schedule: Group 1, 20 persons: G-G-G Group 2, 20 persons: G-G-P Group 3, 20 persons: P-P-G Group 4, 20 persons: P-P-P G= Groningen ultra low resistance P= Provox®2 |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Lifetime of both types of TE shunt prosthesis |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Total costs for the use of both the Provox®2 and Groningen ULR TE shunt prostheses. An incremental cost analysis. 2. Quality of life. 3. Evaluation of both types of prostheses. 4. Preference of patients for one of both types of prostheses. 5. Experience with replacement and -technique. 6. Diet: Food products that influence lifetime of the TE shunt prosthesis. 7. Expenses made by patient. |
