Abstract
The objective of the FeminFER project was to assess the value of ferric carboxymaltose following a multicriteria decision analysis in obstetrics and gynaecology in Spain. Methods Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and ferrous sulphate were evaluated using the EVIDEM framework. Ten stakeholders participated to collect different perspectives. The framework was adapted considering evidence retrieved with a PICO-S search strategy and grey literature. Criteria/subcriteria were weighted by level of relevance and an evidence-based decision-making exercise was developed in each criterion; weights and scores were combined to obtain the value of intervention relative to each criterion/subcriterion, that were further combined into the Modulated Relative Benefit-Risk Balance (MRBRB). Results The most important criterion favouring FCM was Compared Efficacy/Effectiveness (0.183 +/- 0.07), followed by Patient Preferences (0.059 +/- 0.10). Only Direct medical costs criterion favoured FS (-0.003 +/- 0.03). MRBRB favoured FCM; 0.45 +/- 0.19; in a scale from -1 to + 1. Conclusions In conclusion, considering the several criteria involved in the decision-making process, participants agreed with the use of FCM according to its MRBRB.
