Case study: Heart failure Burden of illness Scope of retrospective burden of illness study over 2 year Description of HF-REF and HF-PEF population and cardiovascular outcomes Resource use and associated costs Pre-index assessment Comorbidities Index assessment Demographics Comorbidities Clinical parameters Treatment Post-index assessment Clinical outcomes Economic outcomes Pre-Index Period Index date Post-index Period 451 patients 439 patients Ståhlhammar et al. 2012 and 2013 9
Heart failure analysis Variables collected from different registries Birth death registry: Mortality ICD- Inpatient registry Age, gender Diagnoses, type of heart failure Comorbidities Diagnosis (ICD) Birth/ death data Disease Hjärtsvikt: Age, gender Diagnoses, type of heart failure BP, BMI and other risk factors Lab tests Comorbidities DRG-Inpatient registry Hospitalisation including ER visits Resource used (DRG) Personal ID number Prescribed medicines Drug registry Medication used/refills Different EMR systems Primary care medical records Health care insurance Education, employmen t, Salary Lisa registry Lisa registry 10
Results Cost of illness results Resource use and associated costs Hospitalisation driving costs of heart failure Drug costs accounts for 3% 1% 3% 9% 22% 65% Ståhlhammar et al. 2012 and 2013 12

Case study 2: Assessing multidimensional treatment effect and potential new payment models Swedish collaboration project for psoriasis HTA authority (TLV) Pharma Academia Regional decision makers (NT) 16
Case study 2: Assessing multidimensional treatment effect and potential new payment models Measure impact on multidemensional well-being Relationship between treatment alternatives, psoriasis, costs and wellbeing Evaluate new payment models for drug treatment based on multidemensional wellbeing 17
All is not gold that glitters Challenges with nordic databases Accessability of data Inconsistency in collection of regional primary care data Linkage between National and disease specific databases time consuming Limited PROMs data in registers Confounding factors due to changing enivronment Limited RWE publications considering the wealth of data from Swedish registries 18
Looking to the future Structured inclusion of RWE in decision making process Improved follow-up of treatment effect in real world Use of real time data for treatment decisions Alternative payment models for drug treatments 19
Conclusion Closer collaboration between academia register holders pharma and decision makers to enhance the use of RWE 20
