We aimed to identify how additional information about benefits and harms of cervical cancer (CC) screening impacted intention to participate in screening, what type of information on harms women preferred receiving, from whom, and whether it differed between two national healthcare settings. We conducted a survey that randomized screen-eligible women in the United States (n = 1084) and Norway (n = 1060) into four groups according to the timing of introducing additional information. We found that additional information did not significantly impact stated intentions-to-participate in screening or follow-up testing in either country; however, the proportion of Norwegian women stating uncertainty about seeking precancer treatment increased from 7.9% to 14.3% (p = 0.012). Women reported strong system-specific preferences for sources of information: Norwegians (59%) preferred it come from a national public health agency while Americans (59%) preferred it come from a specialist care provider. Regression models revealed having a prior Pap-test was the most important predictor of intentions-to-participate in both countries, while having lower income reduced the probabilities of intentions-to-follow-up and seek precancer treatment among U.S. women. These results suggest that additional information on harms is unlikely to reduce participation in CC screening but could increase decision uncertainty to seek treatment. Providing unbiased information would improve on the ethical principle of respect for autonomy and self-determination. However, the clinical impact of additional information on women's understanding of the trade-offs involved with CC screening should be investigated. Future studies should also consider country-specific socioeconomic barriers to screening if communication re-design initiatives aim to improve CC screening participation.

Objective
To evaluate the short-term consequences and cost-effectiveness associated with the use of novel biomarkers to triage young adult women with minor cervical cytological lesions.
Design
Model-based economic evaluation using primary epidemiological data from Norway, supplemented with data from European and American clinical trials.
Setting
Organised cervical cancer screening in Norway.
Population
Women aged 25–33 years with minor cervical cytological lesions detected at their primary screening test.
Methods
We expanded an existing simulation model to compare 12 triage strategies involving alternative biomarkers (i.e. reflex human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA/mRNA testing, genotyping, and dual staining) with the current Norwegian triage guidelines.
Main outcome measures
The number of high-grade precancers detected and resource use (e.g. monetary costs and colposcopy referrals) for a single screening round (3 years) for each triage strategy. Cost-efficiency, defined as the additional cost per additional precancer detected of each strategy compared with the next most costly strategy.
Results
Five strategies were identified as cost-efficient, and are projected to increase the precancer detection rate between 18 and 57%, compared with current guidelines; however, the strategies did not uniformly require additional resources. Strategies involving HPV mRNA testing required fewer resources, whereas HPV DNA-based strategies detected >50% more precancers, but were more costly and required twice as many colposcopy referrals compared with the current guidelines.
Conclusion
Strategies involving biomarkers to triage younger women with minor cervical cytological lesions have the potential to detect additional precancers, yet the optimal strategy depends on the resources available as well as decision-makers' and women's acceptance of additional screening procedures.

Background
Lack of consensus in management guidelines for women with minor cervical lesions, coupled with novel screening approaches, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping, necessitate revisiting prevention policies. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness and resource trade-offs of alternative triage strategies to inform cervical cancer prevention in Norway.
Methods
We used a decision-analytic model to compare the lifetime health and economic consequences associated with ten novel candidate approaches to triage women with minor cervical lesions. Candidate strategies varied by: 1) the triage test(s): HPV testing in combination with cytology, HPV testing alone with or without genotyping for HPV-16 and -18, and immediate colposcopy, and 2) the length of time between index and triage testing (i.e., 6, 12 or 18 months). Model outcomes included quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), lifetime societal costs, and resource use (e.g., colposcopy referrals).
Results
The current Norwegian guidelines were less effective and more costly than candidate strategies. Given a commonly-cited willingness-to-pay threshold in Norway of $100,000 per QALY gained, the preferred strategy involved HPV genotyping with immediate colposcopy referral for HPV-16 or -18 positive and repeat HPV testing at 12 months for non-HPV-16 or -18 positive ($78,010 per QALY gained). Differences in health benefits among candidate strategies were small, while resource use varied substantially. More effective strategies required a moderate increase in colposcopy referrals (e.g., a 9% increase for the preferred strategy) compared with current levels.
Conclusion
New applications of HPV testing may improve management of women with minor cervical lesions, yet are accompanied by a trade-off of increased follow-up procedures.

OBJECTIVES:
To estimate changes in the stage distribution of prostate cancer during the time period where opportunistic PSA-testing was introduced.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
Cancer stage, age and year of diagnosis were obtained for all men over the age of 50 diagnosed with prostate cancer in Norway during the period 1980-2010. Three calendar-time periods (1980-1989, 1990-2000, and 2001-2010) and three age groups (50-65, 66-74, and 75+) were defined. Birth cohorts were categorized into four intervals: <1915, 1916-1925, 1926-1940 and >1941. We used Poisson regressions to conduct both a time period and cohort-based analysis of trends in the incidence of localised, regional and distant cancer for each combination of age groups and calendar-time periods or birth cohorts, respectively. Additionally, we explored the effect of cohorts on the stage-specific incidence graphically with a Poisson regression using 5-year age groups, and by estimating cumulative incidence rates for each birth cohort.
RESULTS:
The annual incidence of localised cancers among men aged 50-65 and 66-74 rose from 41.4 and 255.2 per 100,000, respectively, before the introduction of PSA-testing to 137.9 and 418.7 in 2001-2010 afterwards, corresponding to 3.3 (CI: 3.1; 3.5) and 1.6 (CI: 1.6; 1.7) fold increases. The incidence of regional cancers increased by a factor seven among men aged <75. The incidence of distant cancers in men aged 75+ decreased by 29% (CI: 25%; 33%). These findings were confirmed in the cohort-based approach.
CONCLUSION:
Opportunistic PSA-testing substantially increased the incidence of localised and regional prostate cancers among men aged 50-74 years, which was not fully compensated by the 30% decrease in incidence of distant prostate cancers in older men.

BACKGROUND:
Norway has initiated a publicly funded rotavirus immunization program for all age-eligible children in 2014. We aimed to estimate the healthcare costs of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children younger than 5 years of age.
METHODS:
We identified all gastroenteritis cases in children younger than 5 years old treated during 2009-2013 through the national claims database for primary care and the national hospital registry. We estimated direct medical costs of rotavirus-associated primary care consultations and hospital encounters (inpatient admission, outpatient visit, and ambulatory care). We performed a range of one-way sensitivity analyses to explore uncertainty in the cost estimates.
RESULTS:
Prior to vaccine introduction, the mean healthcare cost of rotavirus gastroenteritis in children younger than 5 years of age was &OV0556;4,440,337 million per year. Among rotavirus-associated costs, 92% were hospital costs and the remaining 8% were primary care costs. The mean annual cost of rotavirus-associated hospital encounters was &OV0556;4,083,691, of which 95% were costs of inpatient hospital admissions. The average healthcare cost of medically attended gastroenteritis in children younger than 5 years of age was approximately &OV0556;8 million per year, of which rotavirus-related costs represented 56%.
CONCLUSIONS:
Healthcare costs of rotavirus gastroenteritis in Norway are substantial. The cost-effectiveness of ongoing rotavirus immunization program should be reassessed.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are ideally administered prior to HPV exposure; therefore catch-up programs for girls past adolescence have not been readily funded. We evaluated the benefits and cost-effectiveness of a delayed, 1-year female catch-up vaccination program in Norway.
Methods: We calibrated a dynamic HPV transmission model to Norwegian data and projected the costs and benefits associated with eight HPV-related conditions while varying the upper vaccination age limit to 20, 22, 24 or 26 years. We explored the impact of vaccine protection in women with prior vaccine-targeted HPV infections, vaccine cost, coverage, and natural- and vaccine-induced immunity.
Results: The incremental benefits and cost-effectiveness decreased as the upper age limit for catch-up increased. Assuming a vaccine cost of $150/dose, vaccination up to age 20 remained below Norway’s willingness-to-pay threshold (≈$83,000/ quality-adjusted life year gained); extension to age 22 was cost-effective at a lower cost-per-dose ($50-$75). At high levels of vaccine protection in women with prior HPV exposure, vaccinating up to age 26 was cost-effective. Results were stable with lower coverage.
Conclusions: HPV vaccination catch-up programs may be warranted five years after routine implementation; however, even at low vaccine cost per dose, the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating beyond age 22 remains uncertain.

Background: Increasingly, countries have introduced female vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV), causally linked to several cancers and genital warts, but few have recommended vaccination of boys. Declining vaccine prices and strong evidence of vaccine impact on reducing HPV-related conditions in both women and men prompt countries to reevaluate whether HPV vaccination of boys is warranted.
Methods: A previously-published dynamic model of HPV transmission was empirically calibrated to Norway. Reductions in the incidence of HPV, including both direct and indirect benefits, were applied to a natural history model of cervical cancer, and to incidence-based models for other non-cervical HPV-related diseases. We calculated the health outcomes and costs of the different HPV-related conditions under a gender-neutral vaccination program compared to a female-only program.
Results: Vaccine price had a decisive impact on results. For example, assuming 71% coverage, high vaccine efficacy and a reasonable vaccine tender price of $75 per dose, we found vaccinating both girls and boys fell below a commonly cited cost-effectiveness threshold in Norway ($83,000/quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained) when including vaccine benefit for all HPV-related diseases. However, at the current market price, including boys would not be considered ‘good value for money.’ For settings with a lower cost-effectiveness threshold ($30,000/QALY), it would not be considered cost-effective to expand the current program to include boys, unless the vaccine price was less than $36/dose. Increasing vaccination coverage to 90% among girls was more effective and less costly than the benefits achieved by vaccinating both genders with 71% coverage.
Conclusions: At the anticipated tender price, expanding the HPV vaccination program to boys may be cost-effective and may warrant a change in the current female-only vaccination policy in Norway. However, increasing coverage in girls is uniformly more effective and cost-effective than expanding vaccination coverage to boys and should be considered a priority.

Background: The European Heart SCORE model constitutes the basis for national guidelines for primary prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in several European countries. The model estimates individuals’ 10-year CVD mortality risks from age, sex, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol level. The SCORE model, however, is not mathematically consistent and does not estimate all-cause mortality. Our aim is to modify the SCORE model to allow consistent estimation of both CVD-specific and all-cause mortality.
Methods: Using a competing risk approach, we first re-estimated the cause-specific risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, and secondly we incorporated non-CVD mortality. Finally, non-CVD mortality was allowed to also depend on smoking status, and not only age and sex. From the models, we estimated CVD-specific and all-cause 10-year mortality risk, and the expected residual lifetime together with corresponding expected effects of statin treatment.
Results: The modified model provided CVD-specific 10-year mortality risks similar to those of the European Heart SCORE model. Incorporation of non-CVD mortality increased 10-year mortality risks, in particular for older individuals. When non-CVD mortality was assumed unaffected by smoking status, the absolute risk reduction due to statin treatment ranged from 0.0% to 3.5%, whereas the gain in expected residual lifetime ranged from 3 to 11 months. Statin effectiveness increased for non-smokers and declined for smokers, when smoking was allowed to influence non-CVD mortality.
Conclusion: The modified model provides mathematically consistent estimates of mortality risk and expected residual lifetime together with expected benefits from statin treatment.

The aim of this study was to estimate the incremental cost effectiveness of replacing bare metal stents (BMS) by drug-eluting stents (DES) when using trial data and registry data. We developed a Markov model (model of cost effectiveness of coronary artery disease) in which 60-year-old patients started by undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for acute or subacute coronary artery disease. The patients are followed until death or 100 years of age. Data on the occurrence of events (revascularization, acute myocardial infarction, and death) were based on Scandinavian registry data. Separate analyses were conducted with data on effectiveness based on randomized controlled trials and patient registries. On using trial data, it was found that sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) yield 0.003 greater life expectancy and $3300 lower costs than do BMS (dominant strategy). Paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) yield 0.148 more life years than do SES at additional lifetime costs of $2800 ($21,400 per life year gained). On using registry data, the cost per life year gained was found to be $4900 when replacing BMS with DES. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses, on the other hand, indicate that PES only has a 50%-75% probability of being cost effective, regardless of the type of effectiveness data. DESs are cost effective with current willingness to pay for life year gains. Whether PES or SES is the most effective DES remains uncertain.

Background National EQ-5D value sets are developed because preferences for health may vary in different populations. UK values are lower than US values for most of the 243 possible EQ-5D health states. Although similar protocols were used for data collection, analytic choices regarding how to model values from the collected data may also influence national value sets. Participants in the UK and US studies assessed the same subset of 42 EQ-5D health states using the time trade-off (TTO) method. However, different methods were used to transform negative values to a range bounded by 0 and −1, and values for all 243 health states were estimated using two different regression models. The transformation of negative values is inconsistent with expected utility theory, and the choice of which transformation method to use lacks a theoretical foundation.
Objectives Our objectives were to assess how much of the observed difference between the UK and US EQ-5D value sets may be explained by the choice of transformation method for negative values relative to the choice of regression model and the differences between elicited TTO values in the respective national studies (datasets).
Methods We applied both transformation methods and both regression models to each of the two datasets, resulting in eight comparable value sets. We arranged these value sets in pairs in which one source of difference (transformation method, regression model or dataset) was varied. For each of these paired value sets, we calculated the mean difference between the two matching values for each of the 243 health states. Finally, we calculated the mean utility gain for all possible transitions between pairs of EQ-5D health states within each value set and used the difference in transition scores as a measure of impact from changing transformation method, regression model or dataset.
Results The mean absolute difference in values was 1.5 times larger when changing the transformation method than when using different datasets. The choice of transformation method had a 3.2 times larger effect on the mean health gain (transition score) than the choice of dataset. The mean health gain in the UK value set was 0.09 higher than in the US value set. Using the UK transformation method on the US dataset reduced this absolute difference to 0.02. The choice of regression model had little overall impact on the differences between the value sets.
Conclusions Most of the observed differences between the UK and US value sets were caused by the use of different transformation methods for negative values, rather than differences between the two study populations as reflected in the datasets. Changing the regression model had little impact on the differences between the value sets.

Trade-offs in cervial cancer screening - Balancing detected cancer precursors and resource use.
Vis sammendrag
Reflex HPV-testing allows for improvements in both effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the current screening algorithm. Candidate strategies can detect a larger number of precancers while using fewer resources compared to current practice; however, the optimal strategy depends on society’s willingness to pay costs and accept harms. Ultimately, the down-stream effectiveness of the alternative algorithms will depend on the extent to which precancers regress or progress into cancer.

I Norge har vi et organisert masseundersøkelsesprogram mot livmorhalskreft. Kvinner fra 25–69 år anbefales å ta celleprøve hvert tredje år, og omtrent 80 prosent tar prøven. Det har trolig halvert antallet tilfeller av livmorhalskreft.
Hvert år får likevel ca. 300 kvinner påvist denne typen kreft. Omtrent 150 av disse kvinnene har tatt celleprøve og omtrent 70 har hatt bare normale celleprøver.

Folkehelseinstituttet er ansvarlig for det norske barnevaksinasjonsprogrammet og utgangspunktet deres er at det er viktig at jenter tar HPV-vaksinen før de blir utsatt for smitte slik at de får best mulig effekt av vaksinen. HPV-vaksinen Gardasil er likevel godkjent til bruk hos kvinner opp til 45 år.
- At vaksinen bare virker for dem som ikke har vært seksuelt aktive eller har vært smittet er en myte. Det er dokumentert god forebyggende effekt opp til 45 år, sier imidlertid Sveinung Sørbye, overlege ved avdeling for klinisk patologi ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge (UNN), som selv har forelest om vaksinen for andre leger.

Nordlandssykehuset Bodø har blitt omtalt flere ganger i media de siste ukene i forbindelse med at noen kvinner har utviklet kreft i livmorhalsen til tross for at de var undersøkt med celleprøve. Det viste seg i ettertid at flere av prøver som var blitt oppfattet som normale, hadde til dels alvorlige celleforandringer ved fornyet undersøkelse. Saken er politianmeldt og fylkeslegen gransker den. Allmennheten bør vite at celleprøve ikke er en perfekt test som kan garantere mot utvikling av livmorhalskreft.

Tidlig på 90-tallet møter ”Eva” til screening for livmorhalskreft. Prøven viser lavgradige celleforandringer. Oppfølging ihht. retningslinjer medfører at ”Eva” de neste 18 årene får utført til sammen 16 nye celleprøver og 7 biopsier. Etter innføring av HPV testing viser celleprøven lavgradige celleforandringer og positiv HPV-test. Biopsi viser nå CIN 2, og ”Eva” blir konisert. Histologisk undersøkelse av resektatet viser invasiv cervixcancer, og ”Eva” blir hysterektomert.
