Cost-effectiveness analysis of iStent Inject® implantation during cataract surgery compared to cataract surgery alone for mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma patients in Spain

Objective To estimate the cost-effectiveness of two trabecular micro-bypass stent implants (iStent inject®) during cataract surgery, compared to cataract surgery alone, in patients with cataracts and mild-to-moderate primary Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG) in the Spanish National Health System (SNHS).Methods A Markov model was used to simulate the progression of OAG patients, undergoing either cataract-iStent Inject® surgery or cataract surgery alone,...
