The polypill would lead to a net reduction in healthcare costs at annual prices below $443, and would remain high value at prices below $559.

Findings! For a trial-representative cohort of 100,000 individuals, compared to usual care, polypill treatment: - prevented 2,738 CVD events - yielded 1,190 QALYs - increased costs by ~$10,152,000 Hence, polypill treatment cost $8,560-per-QALY gained and was high value.

The American Heart Association considers treatments to be ‘high value’ if they cost less than $50,000-per-QALY gained. www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...
