Controversial paper just out in the @thelancet.bsky.social Study of population-health impact of funding new drugs recommended by the NHS England’s NICE body during 2000–20: ➡️New drugs resulted cost £75·1 billion ➡️net loss of approximately 1·25 million QALYs www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
thelancet.com
Population-health impact of new drugs recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in England during 2000–20: a retrospective analysis
During 2000–20, NHS coverage of new drugs displaced more population health than it generated. Our results highlight the inherent trade-offs between individuals who directly benefit from new drugs and those who forgo health due to the reallocation of resources towards new drugs.

As well as possibly being more effective, 26 Gy in one fraction for RCC may preferentially spare normal kidney tissue, minising effect on GFR #SABRconsortium #medsky #radonc
