questions</h3><p>RQ1.3: What is the clinical and cost-effectiveness of routine MRI or CT of the brain in the management of people with lung cancer prior to radical therapy with curative intent?</p><div id="ch2.s1.1.1"><h4>Introduction</h4><p>This area was identified for review because observational data calculating the prevalence of brain metastases in people with various stages of NSCLC selected for treatment with curative intent has been published since the last guideline (<a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref15" rid="ch2.apph.ref15">O&#x02019;Dowd 2014</a><sup><a href="#ch2.fn1">1</a></sup>). This data enabled the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of various imaging strategies to be calculated. The 2011 NICE lung cancer guideline recommended that MRI or CT scan should be considered before treatment with curative intent, especially for (patients otherwise thought to have) stage III NSCLC. MRI brain may be more accurate at detecting brain metastases compared to CT brain. However, there is reduced availability and increased cost for MRI compared to CT. The prevalence of brain metastases is likely to by population subgroup.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figch2tab1"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table 1" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figch2tab1" rid-ob="figobch2tab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Table 1.

In particular, the minimally important differences (MIDs) used in this review are summarised in <a href="#ch2.appb">appendix B</a>.</p><p>There was a deviation from the protocol: for the diagnostic test accuracy outcomes (sensitivity and specificity), the population of interest was increased from NSCLC stages I-IIIA to include all stages (NSCLC stages IIIB and IV too). This was to obtain more accuracy data for imaging to detect brain metastases. Studies that only have participants with NSCLC stages I-IIIA are few and have relatively low numbers of participants.

Following review of titles and abstracts, 2 full-text studies were retrieved for detailed consideration, of which none were included in our review.</p><div id="ch2.s1.1.4.1"><h5>Summary of original economic model</h5><p>The de-novo cost-utility analysis developed for this guideline (see <a href="#ch2.appi">Appendix I</a> for full details) included three strategies; no imaging (i.e. proceed straight to treatment with curative intent), imaging with CT brain, followed by MRI brain if positive and imaging with MRI brain. Patients in the model were divided into three categories; negative, positive with 1&#x02013;3 brain metastases and positive with 4+ metastases. These were decided upon as the most clinically relevant patient groups. The model examined patients with NSCLC stage I, stage II and stage IIIA separately. Patients found to be negative exited the model because the tests were assumed (based on the evidence identified and the committee&#x02019;s experience) to have a specificity of 100%. CT and MRI were also assumed to have a sensitivity of 100% for detecting 4+ metastases in the model&#x02019;s base case. After imaging or no imaging, patients could therefore be true positive with 1&#x02013;3 brain metastases, true positive with 4+, false negative with 1&#x02013;3 or undetected with 4+. This final group only existed in the no imaging strategy in the base case. Following detection of brain metastases, radical treatments shifted from more to less invasive techniques and radical treatments were assumed to be used less frequently. Patients also received appropriate treatment for their brain metastases. After initial imaging and treatment, patients entered the long term part of the model where their overall and progression-free survival was modelled using data from relevant RCTs and cohort studies. Patients received indicated treatments upon progression and death.</p><p>The model found that imaging was not cost-effective in stage I NSCLC, that CT followed by MRI if positive could be cost-effective in stage II disease and MRI was the dominant strategy (the cheapest and most effective) in stage IIIA disease. These results were robust to plausible sensitivity and scenario analyses. The most important parameters in the model were the prevalence of brain metastases, the proportion of positives who had 4+ metastases and the extent to which the treatment plan was assumed to change following initial imaging.</p></div></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.5"><h4>Evidence statement</h4><div id="ch2.s1.1.5.1"><h5>MRI brain</h5><div id="ch2.s1.1.5.1.1"><h5>Diagnostic accuracy data: meta-analysis</h5><p>Very low-quality evidence from 4 observational studies on 624 people with stage I to stage IV lung cancer considered for radical treatment found that for MRI brain the sensitivity was 94.1% (68.6 &#x02013; 99.9) and the specificity was 99.9% (91.0 &#x02013; 100.0).</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.5.1.2"><h5>Diagnostic accuracy data: <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref24" rid="ch2.apph.ref24">Yokoi 1999</a></h5><p>Very low-quality evidence from 1 observational study on 177 people with stage I to stage IV lung cancer considered for radical treatment found that for MRI brain the sensitivity was 50% (26.1 &#x02013; 73.9) and the specificity was 99.7% (97.2 &#x02013; 100).

The model found that a strategy of CT followed by MRI if positive was the most cost-effective for stage II disease at a threshold of &#x000a3;30,000/QALY and might have been cost-effective at a threshold of &#x000a3;20,000/QALY. MRI alone was the most cost-effective strategy in stage III disease.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.6"><h4>The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h4><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1"><h5>Interpreting the evidence</h5><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1.1"><h5>The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee agreed that the outcome that matters most is not causing harm by offering treatment options with curative intent, particularly surgical options, in patients who have brain metastases. Radical treatment options for lung cancer are associated with risks, side effects, high healthcare resource use and are not expected to alter the prognosis of many people with brain metastases. Another important outcome is the potential benefit of being able to offer alternative treatments to patients who have brain metastases. Early identification and appropriate management may slow disease progression and increase overall survival.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The quality of the evidence included in the clinical review was very low. The committee noted that there is no agreed gold standard for assessing the presence of brain metastases and therefore the data on sensitivity in the included studies is particularly unreliable. The original health economic model developed for this review question included a large amount of evidence of varying quality, including a large number of assumptions and extrapolations from indirect data but overall the committee considered it a robust analysis for decision making. This was because its conclusions for each disease stage were not sensitive to plausible variations in any of the input parameters. In the meta-analyses of sensitivity and specificity data for MRI and CT brain, we excluded <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref24" rid="ch2.apph.ref24">Yokoi 1999</a> from the analysis because the sensitivity data in this study are implausible compared to the sensitivity of modern MRI and CT brain imaging.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>Imaging of the brain for those being considered for surgery or radical radiotherapy should prevent the use of radical treatment options in some patients for whom it is not expected to be beneficial. In addition, patients found to have brain metastases could be considered for other treatments such as stereotactic radiosurgery or brain surgery, which would be expected to improve their prognosis although each treatment would carry its own risks and side effects. The committee agreed that some patients feel anxiety on undergoing MRI but agreed that the scan was a safe and highly accurate way to detect brain metastases.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1.4"><h5>Cost-effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>The recommendations for this area were based on the health economic model developed for this update (see <a href="#ch2.appi">Appendix I</a>). The economic model examined three strategies; no imaging, CT (followed by MRI if the CT was positive) and MRI alone in patients with stage I, stage II and stage IIIA NSCLC being considered for treatment with curative intent separately. Early identification of brain metastases within the model led to an increase in Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) because earlier management of brain metastases led to slower rates of progression and higher overall survival. There were costs associated with the initial imaging and subsequent treatment of brain metastases but also some savings from patients receiving less radical treatment, particularly surgery. Broadly, there were two types of patients within the economic model, those with 1&#x02013;3 brain metastases, many of whom would receive radical treatment for their primary tumour as well as their metastases, and those with 4+ metastases who were modelled to no longer receive radical treatment but to move to systemic therapy. The committee were aware there would be some exceptions to these groupings in practice but felt the split was clinically meaningful and that it was a distinction that had often been made in the evidence base. Because of the associated cost savings, the proportion of positive patients who have 4+ brain metastases was an important but uncertain parameter in the economic model. The committee noted this uncertainty in its interpretation of the evidence for different stages of NSCLC.</p><p>To calculate test outcomes in the model, a diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis was undertaken. This found that the sensitivity of CT and MRI were 74% and 94% respectively and that both modalities had a specificity of ~100%. The committee thought this was reasonable, particularly in relation to MRI so there were no patients with a false diagnosis of brain metastases included in the economic model. While the prevalence would likely be affected by the mixed population in some of the studies, the committee did not think the sensitivity of the tests would be and understood that these values would be thoroughly tested in scenario analysis in the model.</p><p>The evidence on the prevalence of brain metastases within the model came from a retrospective cohort analysis that had extrapolated data on patients treated with curative intent who had subsequently developed brain metastases. The authors of this paper used tumour doubling times to calculate how many patients would have had detectable brain metastases at the time of their radical treatment. The committee understood the limitations of this kind of analysis but also considered it to be the best available source of evidence that was relevant to the decision problem. The paper reported the estimated prevalence for stages I, II and IIIA separately.</p><p>The base case ICERs for CT-MRI versus No Imaging and MRI versus CT-MRI in stage I patients were greater than &#x000a3;30,000/QALY gained. There were no sensitivity analyses that moved these values close to &#x000a3;20,000/QALY gained. This was primarily because of the low prevalence of brain metastases in Stage I patients. The committee also noted that for every 100 MRI scans performed, only 3 patients would be found positive for brain metastases. They therefore decided that it was highly unlikely that imaging in Stage I represented a cost-effective use of NHS resources.</p><p>The base case ICERs for CT-MRI versus No Imaging and MRI versus CT-MRI in stage II patients were &#x000a3;21,000/QALY and &#x000a3;48,000/QALY respectively. There were no plausible sensitivity analyses that made MRI cost-effective compared to CT-MRI. The primary reasons for these findings are that CT was assumed to have very good sensitivity for identifying patients who have 4+ brain metastases and these patients are the most important in the cost-effectiveness calculations within the model because they are no longer likely to receive radical treatment, leading to significant cost savings. The committee noted that only a small number of people with 1&#x02013;3 brain metastases would be missed on initial CT that might have been detected had MRI been the first test. They therefore decided to recommend a strategy of CT, followed by MRI if positive in the Stage II NSCLC population.</p><p>For stage IIIA patients, MRI was the dominant strategy (it was both cheaper and more effective) and remained either dominant or the most cost-effective strategy in all plausible sensitivity analyses. This is because all stage IIIA patients found to be positive for brain metastases are highly unlikely to receive radical treatment, leading to significant cost savings in the model. These savings, coupled with the relatively high prevalence of brain metastases and the clinical benefits of early diagnosis mean that the most sensitive test, MRI, is the most cost-effective.</p><p>The committee noted a number of limitations in the economic model relating to its data inputs and assumptions but also noted the findings were robust to all plausible sensitivity analyses and were therefore confident that it was reliable as the basis for decision making for this review question.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.1.6.1.5"><h5>Other factors the committee took into account</h5><p>The committee was aware that there are pressures on imaging services, particularly MRI scanners and that some patients prefer not to receive MRI scans but agreed that these considerations should not affect the recommendations. Some of the evidence that underpinned the health economic model was of low quality or based on committee assumption. In particular, they considered that due to the non-contemporary nature of the studies, the sensitivity of CT and MRI are likely to be underestimated with the use of thin collimation and volumetric imaging having improved the accuracy of both modalities in recent years. The committee was satisfied that these concerns had been addressed by an extensive range of sensitivity analyses. The main evidence for the prevalence of brain metastases came from a paper where the population of interest had not received contrast enhanced PET-CT as part of their staging. The committee acknowledged that in centres where contrast enhanced PET-CT is routine, the prevalence of brain metastases in the population of interest might be lower. While the specificity of MRI was thought to be 100% as regards brain metastases from lung cancer, the committee noted that several differential diagnoses such as infection and primary brain tumour might be detected by the scan. They considered this an ancillary benefit of imaging.</p><p>For <a href="/books/n/niceng122/?report=reader" class="toc-item">recommendations 1.3.23</a>, <a href="/books/n/niceng122/?report=reader" class="toc-item">1.3.24</a>, and <a href="/books/n/niceng122/?report=reader" class="toc-item">1.3.25</a> the committee agreed that &#x02018;clinical stage&#x02019; should be written, rather than &#x02018;stage&#x02019;. This is to ensure that healthcare professionals understand that the brain imaging should be performed before surgery. After surgery, a pathologist is able to confirm the stage. Other recommendations do not require this clarification because it is normally obvious to clinicians whether a stage is clinical or not.</p><p>For <a href="/books/n/niceng122/?report=reader" class="toc-item">recommendation 1.3.25</a>, the committee agreed that the stage should be clinical stage III, which includes IIIA and IIIB. This is because some people with stage IIIB disease will receive radical radiotherapy and it is highly likely that MRI brain would be just as cost-effective in these patients as in patients with stage IIIA NSCLC.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div id="ch2.appa"><h2 id="_ch2_appa_">Appendix A.

<ul id="ch2.l10"><li id="ch2.lt41" class="half_rhythm"><div>Direct &#x02013; No important deviations from the protocol in population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt42" class="half_rhythm"><div>Partially indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in one of the population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt43" class="half_rhythm"><div>Indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in at least two of the following areas: population, intervention, comparator and/or outcomes.</div></li></ul></p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s3.2"><h4>Methods for combining intervention evidence</h4><p>Meta-analyses of interventional data were conducted with reference to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins et al. 2011).</p><p>Where different studies presented continuous data measuring the same outcome but using different numerical scales (e.g. a 0&#x02013;10 and a 0&#x02013;100 visual analogue scale), these outcomes were all converted to the same scale before meta-analysis was conducted on the mean differences. Where outcomes measured the same underlying construct but used different instruments/metrics, data were analysed using standardised mean differences (Hedges&#x02019; g).</p><p>A pooled relative risk was calculated for dichotomous outcomes (using the Mantel&#x02013;Haenszel method). Both relative and absolute risks were presented, with absolute risks calculated by applying the relative risk to the pooled risk in the comparator arm of the meta-analysis.</p><p>Fixed- and random-effects models (der Simonian and Laird) were fitted for all syntheses, with the presented analysis dependent on the degree of heterogeneity in the assembled evidence. Fixed-effects models were the preferred choice to report, but in situations where the assumption of a shared mean for fixed-effects model were clearly not met, even after appropriate pre-specified subgroup analyses were conducted, random-effects results are presented. Fixed-effects models were deemed to be inappropriate if one or both of the following conditions was met:
<ul id="ch2.l11"><li id="ch2.lt44" class="half_rhythm"><div>Significant between study heterogeneity in methodology, population, intervention or comparator was identified by the reviewer in advance of data analysis. This decision was made and recorded before any data analysis was undertaken.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt45" class="half_rhythm"><div>The presence of significant statistical heterogeneity in the meta-analysis, defined as I<sup>2</sup>&#x02265;50%.</div></li></ul></p><p>In any meta-analyses where some (but not all) of the data came from studies at high risk of bias, a sensitivity analysis was conducted, excluding those studies from the analysis. Results from both the full and restricted meta-analyses are reported. Similarly, in any meta-analyses where some (but not all) of the data came from indirect studies, a sensitivity analysis was conducted, excluding those studies from the analysis.</p><p>Meta-analyses were performed in Cochrane Review Manager v 5.3.</p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s3.3"><h4>Minimal clinically important differences (MIDs)</h4><p>The Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database was searched to identify published minimal clinically important difference thresholds relevant to this guideline. However, no relevant MIDs were found. In addition, the Guideline Committee were asked to specify any outcomes where they felt a consensus MID could be defined from their experience. The committee agreed that they could not specify any MIDs. Because all studies were cohort studies without a comparator, none of the studies had a line of no effect with which to rate imprecision. Therefore, imprecision was rated according to number of participants. If the number of participants in one arm was 40 or less, the committee agreed that the imprecision would most likely be serious. If the number of participants in one arm was 25 or less, the committee agreed that the imprecision would most likely be very serious.</p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s3.4"><h4>GRADE for pairwise meta-analyses of interventional evidence</h4><p>GRADE was used to assess the quality of evidence for the selected outcomes as specified in &#x02018;Developing NICE guidelines: the manual (2014)&#x02019;. Data from RCTs was initially rated as high quality and the quality of the evidence for each outcome was downgraded or not from this initial point. If non-RCT evidence was included for intervention-type systematic reviews then these were initially rated as either moderate quality (quasi-randomised studies) or low quality (cohort studies) and the quality of the evidence for each outcome was further downgraded or not from this point, based on the criteria given in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab2" rid-ob="figobch2appitab2">Table 4</a>. The committee agreed that the outcomes of cohort studies with one arm (no comparator) would be described using a narrative synthesis.</p><p id="ch2.appb.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appb.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appbtab1" class="figpopup">Table 2. Rationale for downgrading quality of evidence for intervention studies</a></p><p>The quality of evidence for each outcome was upgraded if any of the following five conditions were met:
<ul id="ch2.l12"><li id="ch2.lt46" class="half_rhythm"><div>Data from non-randomised studies showing an effect size sufficiently large that it cannot be explained by confounding alone.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt47" class="half_rhythm"><div>Data showing a dose-response gradient.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt48" class="half_rhythm"><div>Data where all plausible residual confounding is likely to increase our confidence in the effect estimate.</div></li></ul></p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s3.5"><h4>Publication bias</h4><p>Publication bias was assessed in two ways. First, if evidence of conducted but unpublished studies was identified during the review (e.g. conference abstracts, trial protocols or trial records without accompanying published data), available information on these unpublished studies was reported as part of the review. Secondly, where 10 or more studies were included as part of a single meta-analysis, a funnel plot was produced to graphically assess the potential for publication bias.</p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s3.6"><h4>Evidence statements</h4><p>Evidence statements for pairwise intervention data are classified in to one of four categories:
<ul id="ch2.l13"><li id="ch2.lt49" class="half_rhythm"><div>Situations where the data are only consistent, at a 95% confidence level, with an effect in one direction (i.e. one that is &#x02018;statistically significant&#x02019;), and the magnitude of that effect is most likely to meet or exceed the MID (i.e. the point estimate is not in the zone of equivalence). In such cases, we state that the evidence showed that there is an effect.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt50" class="half_rhythm"><div>Situations where the data are only consistent, at a 95% confidence level, with an effect in one direction (i.e. one that is &#x02018;statistically significant&#x02019;), but the magnitude of that effect is most likely to be less than the MID (i.e. the point estimate is in the zone of equivalence). In such cases, we state that the evidence could not demonstrate a meaningful difference.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt51" class="half_rhythm"><div>Situations where the data are consistent, at a 95% confidence level, with an effect in either direction (i.e. one that is not &#x02018;statistically significant&#x02019;) but the confidence limits are smaller than the MIDs in both directions. In such cases, we state that the evidence demonstrates that there is no difference.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt52" class="half_rhythm"><div>In all other cases, we state that the evidence could not differentiate between the comparators.</div></li></ul></p></div></div><div id="ch2.appb.s4"><h3>Diagnostic test accuracy evidence</h3><p>In this guideline, diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) data are classified as any data in which a test result or the output of an algorithm &#x02013; is observed in some people who have the condition of interest at the time of the test and some people who do not. Such data either explicitly provide, or can be manipulated to generate, a 2x2 classification of true positives and false negatives (in people who, according to the reference standard, truly have the condition) and false positives and true negatives (in people who, according to the reference standard, do not).</p><p>The &#x02018;raw&#x02019; 2x2 data can be summarised in a variety of ways. Those that were used for decision making in this guideline are as follows:
<ul id="ch2.l14"><li id="ch2.lt53" class="half_rhythm"><div><b>Sensitivity</b> is the probability that the feature will be positive in a person with the condition.
<ul id="ch2.l15" class="circle"><li id="ch2.lt54" class="half_rhythm"><div>sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN)</div></li></ul></div></li><li id="ch2.lt55" class="half_rhythm"><div><b>Specificity</b> is the probability that the feature will be negative in a person without the condition.
<ul id="ch2.l16" class="circle"><li id="ch2.lt56" class="half_rhythm"><div>specificity = TN/(TN+FP)</div></li></ul></div></li></ul></p><p>Meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy was undertaken for this guideline using univariate random effects models, which were effectively four simple meta-analyses of a proportion. We were unable to fit a bivariate model due to having a small number of studies for both CT and MRI. Bayesian methods were chosen in order to handle zero-cells without the need for a continuity correction with vague prior distributions being assigned to sensitivity and specificity for the two tests. Random effects models were preferred based on DIC being more than 3&#x02013;5 points lower for sensitivity and because of heterogeneity in study populations, methods and settings. While the DIC for the random effects model for specificity was not 3&#x02013;5 points lower, it was still preferred due to heterogeneity in study populations, methods and settings. Further details can be found in <a href="#ch2.appf">Appendix F</a> (GRADE tables), <a href="#ch2.appi">Appendix I</a> (Cost-utility analysis) and <a href="#ch2.appk">Appendix K</a> (WinBUGS code).</p><div id="ch2.appb.s4.1"><h4>Quality assessment</h4><p>Individual studies were quality assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool, which contains four domains: patient selection, index test, reference standard, and flow and timing. Each individual study was classified into one of the following two groups:
<ul id="ch2.l17"><li id="ch2.lt57" class="half_rhythm"><div>Low risk of bias &#x02013; Evidence of non-serious bias in zero or one domain.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt58" class="half_rhythm"><div>Moderate risk of bias &#x02013; Evidence of non-serious bias in two domains only, or serious bias in one domain only.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt59" class="half_rhythm"><div>High risk of bias &#x02013; Evidence of bias in at least three domains, or of serious bias in at least two domains.</div></li></ul></p><p>Each individual study was also classified into one of three groups for directness, based on if there were concerns about the population, index features and/or reference standard in the study and how directly these variables could address the specified review question. Studies were rated as follows:
<ul id="ch2.l18"><li id="ch2.lt60" class="half_rhythm"><div>Direct &#x02013; No important deviations from the protocol in population, index feature and/or reference standard.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt61" class="half_rhythm"><div>Partially indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in one of the population, index feature and/or reference standard.</div></li><li id="ch2.lt62" class="half_rhythm"><div>Indirect &#x02013; Important deviations from the protocol in at least two of the population, index feature and/or reference standard.</div></li></ul></p></div><div id="ch2.appb.s4.2"><h4>Modified GRADE for diagnostic test accuracy evidence</h4><p>GRADE has not been developed for use with diagnostic studies; therefore a modified approach was applied using the GRADE framework. GRADE assessments were only undertaken for sensitivity and specificity. This is because the committee agreed that these two measurements are the ones that that matter most to clinicians and people with stage I to stage IIIA lung cancer being considered for radical treatment. GRADE quality ratings were calculated using the same criteria as for intervention studies, given in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab2" rid-ob="figobch2appitab2">Table 4</a>. Neither sensitivity nor specificity have a line of no effect with which to rate imprecision. Therefore, imprecision was rated according to number of participants. If the number of participants in one arm was 40 or less, the committee agreed that the imprecision would most likely be serious. If the number of participants in one arm was 25 or less, the committee agreed that the imprecision would most likely be very serious.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch2.appc"><h2 id="_ch2_appc_">Appendix C.

Cost-utility analysis</h2><div id="ch2.appi.s1"><h3>Background</h3><p>Brain metastases (BM) are a frequent complication from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but routine imaging of the brain is not undertaken, especially in early stage disease. The 2011 guideline included a recommendation to &#x0201c;Consider MRI or CT of the head in patients selected for treatment with curative intent, especially in stage III disease&#x0201d; but it is not known how widely this guidance is implemented in UK practice or whether practice differs by cancer stage. Detecting BM prior to treatment with curative intent is valuable as it may alter the treatment plan. For example, patients initially indicated for surgery may be switched to less invasive treatment as the chance for cure is greatly reduced if they are found to have BM. Early detection of BM may also lead to better outcomes for patients in that they may be able to receive BM-specific treatment that will better their prognosis.</p><p>The prevalence of BM is thought to be relatively low in patients with early stage NSCLC and, given that CT and MRI have limited availability, the committee were interested in examining the cost-effectiveness of routine imaging separately in patients with stage I, II and III disease. An important motivator for the inclusion of this review question in the guideline update was the publication of the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref15" rid="ch2.apph.ref15">O&#x02019;dowd 2014</a> paper<sup><a href="#ch2.fn2">b</a></sup>, which tried to estimate the prevalence of BM in the population of interest.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2"><h3>Methods</h3><div id="ch2.appi.s2.1"><h4>Population, interventions/comparators and outcomes</h4><p>The populations in the model are patients with stage I, II and III NSCLC who are otherwise selected for treatment with curative intent; either surgery or radical radiotherapy to the lung. These patients have already received the standard lung cancer staging investigations of chest CT, whole body non-contrast-enhanced PET-CT and any necessary biopsy procedures. The cancer stage is expected to be correct in all respects except for the potential for occult BM. Patients in the model are either negative for BM, are positive with 1&#x02013;3 BM or are positive with 4+ BM. The distinction is clinically important in that patients with 1&#x02013;3 BM often receive radical brain treatment and then may go on to receive radical treatment to their lung whereas patients with 4+ BM receive treatment that is systemic and palliative in nature.</p><p>The strategies examined in the model were No Imaging (i.e. straight to radical treatment), CT of the brain followed by MRI if positive and MRI of the brain alone. Outcomes were measured in quality adjusted life years (QALYs).</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.2"><h4>Model Structure</h4><p>This section is intended to give a structural overview of the model and its underpinning assumptions. Derivation of parameters is discussed in the Model Parameters section.</p><div id="ch2.appi.s2.2.1"><h5>Short Term Model</h5><p>The model begins with a series of decision trees which determine the results of the diagnostic tests undertaken on 1,000 theoretical patients. Following this, patients have the potential to be either True Negative (TN), True Positive (1&#x02013;3), True Positive (4+), False Positive (1&#x02013;3) or False Negative (4+). There are no TPs or FPs in the No Imaging strategy as no test has taken place.

Sensitivity is expected to be higher for patients with 4+ BM. Patients who are identified as positive (4+) do not receive a confirmatory MRI in the base case analysis.</p><p id="ch2.appi.fig2"><a href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appifig2" class="figpopup">Figure 2. Diagnostic Decision Tree for CT-MRI Strategy</a></p><p>Following initial imaging, those patients who are found to be negative receive the treatment with curative intent that they had initially been indicated for (comprising various types of surgery and radical radiotherapy). Many of the patients who are found to be positive (1&#x02013;3) receive radical treatment for both their brain metastases and on their lung. Patients who are found to be positive (4+) are assumed to receive treatments that are systemic or palliative in nature rather than radical. The exact breakdown of these treatments is discussed in the parameters section of this report. An important assumption of this analysis is that specific treatments do not affect patients&#x02019; prognoses. The reason for this assumption is that both the patient group under study and their treatment options are very heterogeneous so the model would have quickly become unmanageably complicated and would have required a large number of parameters for which data do not exist. We therefore chose to model broad groups of patients for whom robust data do exist based on the outcomes of the diagnostic tests.</p><p>We assume that the sensitivity and specificity of MRI, when used in the MRI alone strategy is the same when used on the patient population who have been confirmed as positive with CT scanning. The committee indicated this assumption was reasonable. Another important assumption of the model is that the testing strategies do not generate any genuine False Positives. This is because the specificity of MRI for detecting brain metastases was found to be ~100% in the clinical review. The committee stated that they believe this to be true; while evidence from the clinical review showed MRI scans identifying phenomena that mimicked lesions such as &#x0201c;flow related enhancements&#x0201d; and may detect differential diagnoses such as primary brain tumours or infections, the committee were of the view that MRI would not falsely detect brain metastases and that a patient would not be managed as if they had brain metastases when they did not. While there might be the odd highly unusual contradiction to this assumption, for the purposes of the model it was reasonable to assume there were no False Positives.</p><p>If there are no False Positives then there is no value in modelling True Negatives as the numbers will not differ by strategy. Therefore all True Negative patients exit the model after initial imaging. Included in the True Negative patients exiting the model are those few patients with differential diagnoses such as primary brain tumours and infections as it is assumed they will be managed in a cost-effective way elsewhere for those conditions, in addition to receiving appropriate treatment for their NSCLC. It was thought this cohort are small enough that the potential gain in net monetary benefit from incidentally identifying them via imaging was assumed not to affect the conclusions of the model.</p><p>The diagnostic decision trees and the initial treatments that patients receive are assumed, for the purposes of the model, to occur instantaneously. That is, there are no negative effects from delay due to imaging and all patients are assumed to receive some initial treatment before any deaths or progressions occur. Addressing this limitation would have required a number of evidence-free assumptions about the effects of delay that would have likely only had a minor effect on the results.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.2.2"><h5>Long Term Model</h5><p>At the end of the diagnostic decision tree there are four broad patient groups to model the outcomes for; True Positives (1&#x02013;3), True Positives (4+), False Negatives (1&#x02013;3) and False Negative (4+), all of whom have BM. A Partitioned Survival Analysis<sup><a href="#ch2.fn3">c</a></sup> (PartSA) model was chosen as it is the most common structure for modelling advanced cancers and due to the availability of relevant data to calculate the model&#x02019;s parameters. A PartSA model makes use of overall (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) curves to partition patients into three mutually exclusive states at any given point in time; &#x02018;dead&#x02019;, &#x02018;alive and progression free&#x02019;, &#x02018;alive and progressed&#x02019;. At each time point the proportion of patients in the dead state is given by one minus the overall survival curve, the proportion of patients alive and progression free is equal to the progression free survival curve and therefore the number alive and progressed is equal to one minus the sum of the other two groups.</p><p>The model is a state membership rather than a state transition model so some assumptions are needed to model transition related events. It would not possible for any patient to transition from the progressed to the progression free state but it would be possible for a patient to transition from the progression free state to either the progressed state and for patients in either state to transition to the dead state. The number of transitions assumed to occur to the dead state from cycle to cycle is therefore equal to the difference in the dead state membership and the number of transitions from the progression free to the progressed state is equal to the difference in the progression free state minus the number of first events that are deaths (these data need to be obtained from trials). Both types of transition events incur important one off costs in NSCLC patients so it was necessary to characterise their occurrences explicitly in this way. <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig3" rid-ob="figobch2appifig3">Figure 3</a> shows how the OS and PFS curves dictate the proportions of patients in each state in a typical PartSA model.</p><p id="ch2.appi.fig3"><a href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appifig3" class="figpopup">Figure 3. Typical Partitioned Survival Analysis Model State Membership</a></p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.2.3"><h5>Overall Survival</h5><p>For this specific model True Positives (1&#x02013;3) were assumed to proceed along an OS curve that was obtained from trials of relevant patients. The OS of patients who were True Positive (4+) was calculated by applying a hazard ratio (HR) relevant to the proportional hazard between these two groups. As is often the case in diagnostic models that try to capture the outcomes for patients with an incorrect diagnosis, some strong structural assumptions were needed for the False Negative cohorts. Patients who were False Negative (1&#x02013;3) were assumed to begin with a HR of 1 versus the TP (1&#x02013;3) group and were then assumed to gradually progress to having an equal HR to the TP (4+) group over the average time to intracranial progression in a trial of patients with BM multiplied by 2 (it was assumed that the vast majority of patients would have developed 4+ BM by this time). Evidence on the natural history of BM from the O&#x02019;Dowd paper as well as the trials used to inform parameters in this model lent credence to the assumption that BM grow and proliferate over a relatively short time period. The committee confirmed that this assumption was reasonable, given their clinical experience of managing these patients. The overall survival curve for patients who were FN4+ was calculated by applying an initial hazard ratio representative of Whole Brain Radio Therapy (WBRT) treatment to the overall survival curve for patients who were TP4+. This parameter was taken from an RCT for use of WBRT versus best supportive care in patients with a good performance status and brain metastases from NSCLC (Mulvenna et al. 2016). Because the TP4+ patients were treated with WBRT and the FN4+ patients were not, we considered this a reasonable approximation. The hazard ratio declined uniformly, cycle by cycle (to represent patients gradually presenting symptomatically) and became equal to one at two times the average time to presentation, by which time all patients who were likely to progress intracranially were assumed to have progressed.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.2.4"><h5>Progression-Free Survival</h5><p>Progressions were defined as either intracranial or extracranial or both together and could occur at initial or distant sites or both together. Data on the PFS curve was obtained from a trial of relevant patients with 1&#x02013;3 BM (<a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref6" rid="ch2.ref6">Kocher et al. 2011</a>). This PFS curve was used directly for the cohort who were TP (1&#x02013;3) but a series of assumptions needed to be made to translate it to the other groups. The PFS curve for TP (1&#x02013;3) was divided by the OS curve for TP (1&#x02013;3) to give a proportion alive and progression free at each time point, this was multiplied by the OS curve for TP (4+) to give the PFS curve for TP (4+). It was assumed that the difference in survival between patients that were TP (1&#x02013;3) and TP (4+) was directly attributable to BM. The committee thought this a reasonable assumption as the multivariable regression that had provided the relevant hazard ratio had controlled for other patient level factors. This assumption then extends to the difference in OS for the FN (1&#x02013;3) group. To try to approximate this relationship, the model accelerated the PFS curve by an acceleration factor that would ensure the absolute difference in the area under the FN (1&#x02013;3) and TP (1&#x02013;3) PFS curves from time point 0 to 42 weeks (as discussed earlier, this was the point at which all intracranial progressions in the FN group were assumed to have occurred) equal to the absolute difference in the area under the corresponding OS curves. This assumption was tested in sensitivity analysis. We applied the same logic for the (4+) population as the (1&#x02013;3) population for PFS, accelerating the PFS curve for FN (4+) to a value that ensured the absolute difference in the area under the curve between the FN (4+) and TP (4+) population was equal to the difference in their corresponding overall survival curves at 42 weeks. The combination of acceleration factors and the multiplicative approach to PFS curves has the advantage of preserving the relationship of PFS and OS in the different patient groups and in sensitivity analyses but the disadvantage that there will be a very small amount of &#x0201c;double-counting&#x0201d; progressions following 42 weeks. Because the PFS curve will still be multiplied by a lower OS curve but the internal logic of the model is that the FN patients who are going to progress are assumed to progress by this point and that all differences in OS are attributable to PFS, a lower PFS curve beyond 42 weeks is perhaps inconsistent. It can be seen in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig4" rid-ob="figobch2appifig4">Figure 4</a> that the effect of this is a very minimal, however, and might reflect a clinically reasonable &#x02018;tail&#x02019; of late progression.</p><p><a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig4" rid-ob="figobch2appifig4">Figure 4</a> shows a diagram of the structure of the partitioned survival analysis component of the economic model.</p><p>The average age at the start of the model was 60 (the average age in relevant BM trials), the model was run on a weekly cycle length for 10 years in the base case. While a few patients were left alive at the end of the time horizon, the committee were mindful that every patient within the model has NSCLC and BM and found it highly unlikely that anyone would survive beyond this time point. Due to small patient numbers, this issue was not expected to meaningfully affect the conclusions of the model, however.</p><p>Patients existing in the progression free and progressed states accrued QALYs as a multiple of relevant utility values and time in state. They also accrued routine NSCLC management costs for existing in both states. Progression and death events both accrued one-off event costs, which are discussed in more detail in the Model Parameters section.</p><p>Both costs and QALYs were discounted at 3.5% and a half cycle correction was applied.</p><p id="ch2.appi.fig4"><a href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appifig4" class="figpopup">Figure 4.

This was a retrospective study of 646 NSCLC patients undergoing treatment with curative intent at a UK hospital so was seen by the committee as the most relevant source of data for this parameter. The analysis included 41 patients who had been identified as having BM in a maximum follow up period of 2 years. The size of the BM and a tumour doubling time of 58.48 days<sup><a href="#ch2.fn4">d</a></sup> were used to estimate the proportion of patients who had BM at the time of their radical treatment. The paper estimated that 71% of these metastases were above 5mm in diameter and 83% were above 2mm. The committee felt that the 2mm cut-off was the more relevant for modern MRI scanners but the 5mm cut-off was used in sensitivity analysis. The prevalence values were multiplied by the proportion detectable to calculate the proportion of detectable BM in the model.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab1" class="figpopup">Table 3. Prevalence of BM</a></p><p>Based on the natural history of NSCLC, one would expect the prevalence of BM to be higher in stage IIIA than in stage II. The equivalence observed in this data could be due to the patients having received a staging PET-CT, which could have detected the larger and more obvious BM and therefore ruled them out of receiving radical treatment. The patients in this study occupy the same point in the care pathway as the patients in this decision problem so the committee thought the data were directly relevant but recognised that in centres that use contrast enhanced PET-CT at initial staging, the prevalence of BM might be lower.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.2"><h5>Diagnostic Test Accuracy</h5><p>Sensitivity (Se) is the probability that a diagnostic test will correctly identify a positive patient as positive. Specificity (Sp) is the probability that a diagnostic test will correctly identify a negative patient as negative. In order to determine these parameters, we used studies reporting the relevant data that had been identified as part of the clinical sift for this question. The relevant data are in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab2" rid-ob="figobch2appitab2">Table 4</a>.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab2"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab2" class="figpopup">Table 4. Diagnostic Test Accuracy of CT and MRI</a></p><p>There are a number of limitations to these studies; several were old and therefore used out of date equipment, there was a relatively significant prevalence of patients with stage IIIB NSCLC and above in the studies (although the committee assessed this limitation as minor as regards the accuracy of the tests), there were a small number of positive patients on which to base the sensitivity calculations and the method for determining sensitivity was of varying quality. Nevertheless, these were the only empirical data available and the committee were content to use them in the base case analysis. For this base case, they decided to exclude the data from <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref24" rid="ch2.apph.ref24">Yokoi 1999</a> as the sensitivity values looked implausibly low at 9% for CT and 50% for MRI.</p><p>We performed independent meta-analyses for Se and Sp for both MRI and CT using WinBUGS. We attempted to fit bivariate models (i.e. where Se and Sp were correlated) but did not have enough studies for the MCMC algorithm to be stable. The WinBUGS code can be found in Appendix L and the results are in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab3" rid-ob="figobch2appitab3">Table 5</a>.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab3"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab3" class="figpopup">Table 5. Results of DTA Meta-Analyses</a></p><p>The committee chose to prefer random effects models for Se and Sp for both CT and MRI, which reflected a combination of the heterogeneity of the studies and the DIC statistics. This gave Se values of 74.6% for CT and 94.1% for MRI and Sp values of 99.7% for CT and 99.9% for MRI.</p><p>The committee examined the data on False Positives in the underpinning studies and decided that they were not relevant to current practice, particularly for MRI. This was because the source of False Positives in the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.apph.ref11" rid="ch2.apph.ref11">Lee 2009</a> study was listed as &#x02018;flow related enhancements&#x02019;, which are thought to no longer be a factor. The committee agreed that in their experience there would be no genuine False Positives (i.e. those that would lead to someone being treated for BM when they did not, in fact, have BM) following an MRI scan. As discussed earlier, differential diagnosis, while a consequence of imaging were not expected to affect the conclusions of the model due to small numbers. A specificity value of 100% (rather than 99.9%) was therefore used in the model and because there were no False Positives in any of the strategies, long term outcomes for False Positives and True Negatives were not modelled. This value was necessarily fixed at 100% in the probabilistic sensitivity analysis.</p><p>In the base case, the Se of both CT and MRI for detecting people with 4+ BM was fixed at 100% on the advice of the committee. While this assumption was relaxed in sensitivity analysis for CT, the committee thought it highly implausible that MRI would not detect someone with 4+ BM of above 2mm in diameter.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.3"><h5>Number of BM</h5><p>As discussed in the model structure section, the committee indicated that the number of brain metastases identified could significantly alter subsequent treatment decisions. They specified two broad patient groups of interest, those who had 1&#x02013;3 BM and those who had 4+ BM. The committee&#x02019;s <i>a priori</i> assumption was that 90% of positive patients would have 1&#x02013;3 BM. We also identified data in a relevant population<sup><a href="#ch2.fn5">e</a></sup> showing the proportion to be 74% (CI 55% - 89%). These data, while quite uncertain, are very important in the model as the initial treatments received by patients with 1&#x02013;3 BM are far higher in cost than those received by the patients with 4+ BM. Therefore, the higher we believe the proportion of patients with 4+ BM to be, the more cost-effective imaging will be. In the base case, we used the 74% value for the number of positive patients would have 1&#x02013;3 BM, examining the effects of the 90% value in sensitivity analysis.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.4"><h5>Survival Curve Parameter Estimation Method</h5><p>All survival curve parameters used in the model were obtained from studies using the algorithm from <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref5" rid="ch2.ref5">Guyot 2012</a><sup><a href="#ch2.fn6">f</a></sup>. The algorithm makes use of Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves that are digitised using graph digitisation software (Enguage<sup><a href="#ch2.fn7">g</a></sup> was used for this purpose) and the numbers at risk (often published beneath KM curves in studies) at various time points to estimate synthetic individual patient survival and censorship data. The synthetic individual patient data is then amenable to survival analysis and statistics such as hazard ratios and parametric survival curve parameters may be obtained in the normal way. STATA<sup><a href="#ch2.fn8">h</a></sup> was used for this purpose. This method has been extensively validated, with survival analysis statistics generated using synthetic data very closely mirroring those produced using the relevant real trial data in a large number of examples (see also <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref5" rid="ch2.ref5">Guyot 2012</a>).</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.5"><h5>Overall Survival Curves</h5><p>No fully direct data were identified that would have enabled us to estimate survival curves for the populations of interest within the model.

The committee discussed all the relevant survival curves and the strengths and limitations of the studies. They concluded that the IASLC TNM8 data only included sparse data on people with BM so should be excluded from the analysis but were unable to decide which of the Kocher, Brown and Sperduto studies was the most relevant to the patient group who were True Positive (1&#x02013;3). For Kocher and Brown, the study arms that did not receive WBRT were used as this is not standard treatment for people with 1&#x02013;3 BM. The committee noted that the Kocher and Brown studies had been used in the economic model conducted for NICE&#x02019;s Guideline on Brain tumours and brain metastases<sup><a href="#ch2.fn12">l</a></sup> and that the median and interquartile range values for all three curves were similar and clinically plausible. They therefore requested that the OS curve in the model should be based on a meta-analysis of all three.</p><p id="ch2.appi.fig5"><a href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig5/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appifig5" class="figpopup">Figure 5. KM Estimates for OS in the TP (1&#x02013;3) Group</a></p><p>For the purposes of economic modelling, we decided to fit parametric survival models to these KM data because we wanted the curves to be able to work flexibly with a cycle length and time horizon defined by ourselves within the economic model. The best fitting models were selected using Akaike&#x02019;s Information Criterion (AIC). We also restricted our selection to models with a log relative-hazard form rather than an accelerated failure time form. This was because we wanted to use a variety of published hazard ratios to simulate other patient groups within the model. <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab4" rid-ob="figobch2appitab4">Table 6</a> shows the AIC statistic was smallest for the Gompertz model in all three datasets</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab4"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab4" class="figpopup">Table 6.

It was agreed the best source of evidence for the survival difference between the TP (1&#x02013;3) group and the TP (4+) group was the hazard ratio of people with 1&#x02013;4 versus 5+ BM published in the Sperduto study. This hazard ratio came from a multivariable regression so was controlling for a number of other relevant factors and although the difference in the populations is slightly indirect, the committee agreed that it was a reasonable approximation. The Sperduto study publishes separate hazard ratios for people with and without adenocarcinoma histology. We obtained data on the number of patients in our model cohort who were expected to have adeno and non-adeno histology and weighted the hazard ratio accordingly. Separate scenario analyses for these two population groups were also conducted. The hazard ratio obtained from an earlier GPA paper by Sperduto that related to the difference in OS between two broad GPA groups that were representative of the difference between 1&#x02013;4 and 4+ metastases was also obtained via digitising the relevant survival curves and used in sensitivity analysis.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab6"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab6/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab6" class="figpopup">Table 8. Hazard Ratios and acceleration factors for OS and PFS used within the Model</a></p><p>Due to the lack of directly relevant data, estimating the OS curves for False Negative patients required some further assumptions, which were discussed in the Model Structure section. OS for patients who were FN (4+) was modelled as being equal to patients who were TP (4+). This was because the committee were unaware of any evidence that earlier detection would significantly affect OS in this group. People in this group were assumed not to be indicated for any radical therapy to their brain and the effect of WBRT on OS is uncertain. The hazard ratio for patients who were FN (1&#x02013;3) versus TP (1&#x02013;3) was assumed to begin at 1 at the beginning of the model and progress uniformly, cycle by cycle, to 1.16 (see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab6/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab6" rid-ob="figobch2appitab6">Table 8</a>) over the 2* median time to intracranial progression observed in the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref7" rid="ch2.ref7">Brown 2016</a> trial, which was 21 weeks. By week 42, the HR for this group was therefore equal to the group with 4+ BM as it was assumed that the vast majority of the patients would have intracranially progressed. These assumptions were tested in sensitivity analyses.</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.6"><h5>Progression Free Survival</h5><p>The same <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref6" rid="ch2.ref6">Kocher 2011</a> and <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref7" rid="ch2.ref7">Brown 2016</a> BM trials that provided data on OS also provided data on PFS.

The committee were shown both survival curves and concluded that the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref6" rid="ch2.ref6">Kocher 2011</a> PFS data (again, the no WBRT) arm should be used to model PFS in the base case for people who were TP (1&#x02013;3) because it showed both intra and extracranial progression and was conducted in a European setting. We digitised the PFS curves from Kocher and Brown and fitted parametric survival models to them via the method described in the Overall Survival Section.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab7"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab7/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab7" class="figpopup">Table 9.

In order for the Kocher PFS curve to interact properly with the OS curves within the model we set up the model so that it calculated, cycle-by-cycle, the people alive and progression-free as a proportion of those alive as dictated by the Kocher OS curve. This gave us a &#x02018;PFS multiplier&#x02019; curve that we could then use with other survival curves. The result of this is that, whichever OS curve is used (Kocher, Brown, meta-analysed curve, adeno only e.g.), the proportion of people alive and progression free will remain constant, even though the raw number will change.</p><p>The committee considered whether the PFS curves should be meaningfully altered for FN patients to reflect the lack of management that they receive and concluded that they should be. The method for doing this for the FN (1&#x02013;3) population has already been described in the Model Structure section and details the process by which we arrived at an acceleration factor of 11% during the time that these patients remain undiagnosed. For the FN (4+) patients who would have been treated with WBRT, had they been identified at initial imaging, we calculated an acceleration factor by fitting a loglogistic regression to both arms of the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref6" rid="ch2.ref6">Kocher 2011</a> PFS data with the study arm representing &#x02018;no WBRT&#x02019; as an independent variable. The acceleration factor associated with this variable was 30.4% (s.e. 11.4%, p=0.001).</p></div><div id="ch2.appi.s2.3.7"><h5>Progression and Death Events</h5><p>Progression is an important concept to capture in NSCLC models because it often triggers challenge of the cancer with another or repeat of therapy. Such therapies are typically of defined and relatively short duration such as 10 sessions of WBRT or 4 cycles of SACT.</p><p>The implementation of progression cost within the model is somewhat complex. As partitioned survival analyses are state membership rather than state transition models, there are no transition probabilities between the progression free and progressed health states so these have to be estimated. In our model, these data are only important for cost accrual.</p><p>A one-off cost of death was applied by calculating the difference in the overall survival curve (people in the dead state) from cycle to cycle. It is not possible to use this same logic to calculate the number of progressions from the progression free to the progressed state because some of these progressions are deaths. Similarly, one cannot easily treat deaths from the progressed state any differently to deaths from the progression free state without making some assumptions. Our model assumes they had a homogenous cost although this might not be true in reality. This limitation was assessed as minor because the overall proportion of progressions that were deaths was very similar across strategies.</p><p>The committee indicated to us that they expected half of FN patients to present with mild to moderate symptoms to their cancer nurse. Upon presentation these patients would undergo imaging, at which point their BM would be discovered. The other half of FN patients were expected to present as an emergency with severe symptoms, resulting in an A&#x00026;E visit, a non-elective inpatient stay and the requisite imaging.</p><p>It was not straightforward to determine what treatments the different populations in the model would receive when experiencing the various events in the progression decision trees (see paragraph below) and we had no evidence to inform these parameters other than committee assumption. Firstly, we needed to determine which False Negative (1&#x02013;3) patients would still receive radical brain treatment upon intracranial progression. Since we assumed that 50% of people would progress as a routine presentation with mild symptoms, the committee agreed that it would be reasonable to assume that 50% of patients would receive radical brain treatment if intracranial progression was part of their first event (whether alone or along with extracranial progression). This assumption could be changed to apply to only patients whose first event was intracranial alone or who experienced any intracranial event. 80% of patients who were FN (4+) were assumed to receive SACT upon intracranial progression (the same proportion as if they had been identified early). Underlying intracranial progression event costs that applied to all patients were also applied; 80% received WBRT, 5% SRS and 5% SACT. For the patients who were TP (4+), the WBRT was removed as they had received this intervention on initial diagnosis.</p><p>To calculate the weighted average cost of a progression event we obtained the progression event decision trees (see <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab31/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab31" rid-ob="figobch2appitab31">Table 33</a> for those data) from the <a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref6" rid="ch2.ref6">Kocher 2011</a> trial for patients with initial treatment with WBRT (TP4+) and without WBRT (all other patients). Deaths were assigned a cost of &#x000a3;0 because they are already accounted for via the method detailed above. Those who did not progress at all were removed from the decision tree because they are not relevant to the calculation.</p><p>60% of patients who progressed extracranially alone first were assumed to receive SACT. 20% of these patients as well as any patients who had intracranial and extracranial progression, whether together or consecutively in any order were assumed to receive a single dose of palliative radiotherapy.</p><p>All treatment assumptions were provided by the committee.

Patients in each of these states consume resources at differing amounts, and therefore incur differing total costs for each given unit of time they have membership of the states.</p><p>In order to arrive at state membership costs for the aforementioned states, we examined the literature to uncover the types of resource that commonly were used in each membership state, and the associated numbers of units consumed each month. We developed this information into a table and presented it to the committee alongside up to date prices for resource units from the English NHS. The committee used this table as a starting point to a discussion to validate these data for use within the economic model. The committee made changes to this table based on their experience of the NHS, excising some resource use, unit usage and costs, whilst adding others.

These treatment options have typically been the subject of NICE Technology Appraisals and therefore represent cost-effective additions to the care pathway, but additions that the committee was aware were unlikely to add much in terms of net monetary benefit. This is because Technology Appraisal approved drugs in advanced cancer rarely have base case ICERs significantly lower than the upper limit of the ICER range normally considered cost-effective by NICE. The committee also noted that much of the evidence in this model came from survival data collected before many of these drugs were widely available. They therefore thought that the net monetary benefit associated with systemic therapy could reasonably be approximated using the costs of a representative platinum doublet chemotherapy. Systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) treatment in our model therefore consisted of Vinorelbine (oral), Carboplatin (IV), and Dexamethasone (oral). In the base case, patients received 4 cycles for each course of SACT. Each course of SACT required a quarter of an hour of an Agenda for Change band 4 member of staff to book an outpatient appointment.</p><p>The dose of oral Vinorelbine required for patients is 60mg/mg<sup>2</sup>, which equates to 120mg on days 1 and days 8 of each cycle. We assumed that the Carboplatin dose required equated to a target AUC 5mg/ml/min, based on a surface area of 1.73m2 and an eGFR of 90. This translated to a requirement of 575mg of Carboplatin required for infusion each cycle. The dosage regimen of dexamethasone was calculated based on the advice of the guideline committee as 8mg twice a day over the first week, tapering down over the remaining 3 weeks.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab19"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab19/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab19" class="figpopup">Table 21.

From this, study, we sum the average hospital costs, local authority funded care, district nursing care, GP contacts costs and inflate them to 2018 levels using a four yearly inflation factor of ~6% (PSSRU HCHS). As patients accrue the death event costs during the final three months of their lives, we account for this by removing the state based costs incurred by these patients for being in the model for 3 months with health states weighted by the proportion of people who die directly from the progression free and progressed states.</p><p id="ch2.appi.tab20"><a href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab20/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobch2appitab20" class="figpopup">Table 22.

The stage IIIA patient group consist of five broad treatment strategies; those treated with Chemotherapy and Surgery (CS), Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy (CR), Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery (CRS), Radiotherapy only (R) and Surgery only (S). The committee agreed that if they were to deliberate a separate recommendation for each of these five identified treatment strategies for stage III, the resulting guidance would be impractical.

For both strategies, 20 of the true positives have 4+ brain metastases and none of the false negatives do.</p><p>If opportunity cost were not a concern, then it would be logical to give all patients who have received initial staging for their lung cancer and are being considered for radical treatment with curative intent an initially more expensive MRI scan (&#x000a3;180) because it is the most sensitive and jointly most specific strategy.. As the opportunity costs are important, the purpose of this economic analysis was to establish cost-effectiveness of these strategies at thresholds of &#x000a3;20,000 and &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY gained.</p><p>The key driving factors in this model was the overall prevalence of brain metastases, the proportion of positive patients with 4+ metastases and the costs of radical treatments. The prevalence of brain metastases used in this analysis (shown in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab1" rid-ob="figobch2appitab1">Table 3</a>) in stage II and III were similar to each other, both being around double that in stage I.</p><p>Base case, probabilistic sensitivity analysis, and sensitivity analyses showing the overall cost-effectiveness of the imaging strategies versus one another for all stages of NSCLC considered are presented in this report.</p><p>
<u>Stage I NSCLC</u>
</p><p>For stage I patients with NSCLC, the results table (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab34/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab34" rid-ob="figobch2appitab34">Table 36</a>) showed that all ICERS were above &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY, except for when an adenocarcinoma hazard ratio and prevalence were used. The one-way sensitivity analysis (OSA) of CT followed by MRI compared to No Imaging when QALYs are valued at &#x000a3;20,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig6/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig6" rid-ob="figobch2appifig6">Figure 6</a>) showed that no plausible variations in any of the parameters could make CT followed by MRI cost-effective compared to No Imaging. However, for the same analysis, when QALYs are valued at &#x000a3;30,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig7/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig7" rid-ob="figobch2appifig7">Figure 7</a>), the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the prevalence of brain metastases could make CT followed by MRI cost effective compared to no imaging. The OSA of MRI compared to CT followed by MRI when QALYs are valued at &#x000a3;30,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig8/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig8" rid-ob="figobch2appifig8">Figure 8</a>) showed that the only situation where MRI could be cost-effective compared to CT followed by MRI was when the cost of MRI scanning of one area (with pre and post contrast) was at its lowest possible value of &#x000a3;127.33.</p><p>For stage I patients with NSCLC, the results of the probabilistic sensitivity analysis were very similar to the base case results. The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC) (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig9/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig9" rid-ob="figobch2appifig9">Figure 9</a>) showed that we would have to be prepared to pay around &#x000a3;46k/QALY for the probability of cost-effectiveness of CT followed by MRI to be as high as no imaging. On the graph of the PSA of 5000 iterations of CT followed by MRI compared to &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig10/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig10" rid-ob="figobch2appifig10">Figure 10</a>), we can see that the average iteration marker (yellow diamond with the red border) is firmly above the light blue line denoting a threshold of &#x000a3;30,000/QALY. The majority of the density of the 5,000 iterations are above the above the &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY threshold line.</p><p>Based on these results, we can conclude that no imaging strategy involving the use of either technology (CT or MRI) for detecting brain metastases in stage I NSCLC patients prior to radical treatment with curative intent is cost-effective at willingness-to-pay thresholds of &#x000a3;20,000 or &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY. This is primarily due to the low prevalence of detectable brain metastases in the stage I population (~3.8%). Varying this value to the highest extreme of its confidence interval yielded an ICER of &#x000a3;29,067 per QALY for CT followed by MRI compared to no imaging.</p><p>
<u>Stage II NSCLC</u>
</p><p>For patients with stage II NSCLC, we carried out the same analysis as we carried out for stage I NSCLC patients. The only difference was the prevalence of detectable BM (~8%). In the deterministic base case, we found that ICER for CT followed by MRI was &#x000a3;21,095 &#x02013; just over the threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY gained, but well under &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY. The ICER for MRI alone compared to CT followed by MRI was well in excess of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY.</p><p>The results of the PSA followed a very similar pattern to the deterministic base case. The scatterplot of 5,000 PSA iterations (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig15/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig15" rid-ob="figobch2appifig15">Figure 15</a>) shows the average iteration marker between the dark purple line denoting a threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY, and the light blue line denoting a threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY. Most of the iterations fall evenly on either side of both of these lines demarcating these thresholds, showing reasonable uncertainly in the average ICER in relation to the common decision thresholds.</p><p>Of the 22 scenario analyses we performed shown in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab36/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab36" rid-ob="figobch2appitab36">Table 38</a>, only two scenarios (where the proportion of patients with 1&#x02013;3 brain metastases came from the committee, and where non-adenocarcinoma hazard ratios and prevalence were used) exceeded the threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY. Three of these scenario analyses (where treatment with curative intent for all brain events, &#x02018;Acceleration factor for the Kocher progression free survival (FN 1&#x02013;3 brain mets) (30%)&#x02019; and &#x02018;Adenocarcinoma hazard ratio and adenocarcinoma prevalence&#x02019;) ICERs were below the &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY threshold.</p><p>For stage II patients with NSCLC, neither for the base case, the PSA or any of the incremental analysis for MRI alone when compared to CT followed by MRI shown in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab38/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab38" rid-ob="figobch2appitab38">Table 40</a> had an ICER below the &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY threshold.</p><p>The OSA for CT followed by MRI compared to &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; at a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig11/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig11" rid-ob="figobch2appifig11">Figure 11</a>) showed that model was sensitive to a large number of parameters, which when varied within their plausible ranged could cause the INMB to be above zero, therefore rendering CT followed by MRI a cost-effective strategy. A further OSA analysis of the same pairwise comparison, using a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig12/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig12" rid-ob="figobch2appifig12">Figure 12</a>), showed that only three parameters (prevalence of brain metastases in stage II, proportion of patients with 1&#x02013;3 brain mets (Yokoi), and the hazard ratio), would be able to take the INMB into negative territory, thus rendering CT followed by MRI not cost-effective in comparison to the &#x02018;no imaging strategy&#x02019;. The final OSA conducted for stage II NSCLC (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig13/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig13" rid-ob="figobch2appifig13">Figure 13</a>) showed that just two parameters (sensitivity of CT and the cost of MRI of one area) when varied within their plausible range, could render MRI cost-effective as compared to CT followed by MRI, a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY.</p><p>The CEAC for stage II patients with NSCLC (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig14/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig14" rid-ob="figobch2appifig14">Figure 14</a>) shows that &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; strategy has the highest probability of being cost-effective until around a willingness-to-pay of &#x000a3;23,000 QALY, at which point it is equally likely to be as cost-effective as CT followed by MRI at 48%. From here, as the willingness-to-pay increases, the probability of CT followed of MRI being the most cost-effective strategy increases until around a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;34,000 per QALY where the probability is around 67%. At a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY, CT followed by MRI has the highest probability of being the most cost-effective strategy at around 62%, whilst the &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; strategy has a probability of around 22%.</p><p>We can conclude with a fair amount of certainty that CT followed by the MRI is the most cost-effective strategy at a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY for detecting brain metastases in stage II NSCLC patients prior to radical treatment with curative intent but it is uncertain whether the &#x02018;true&#x02019; ICER for imaging lies above or below the &#x000a3;20,000 threshold.</p><p>
<u>Stage IIIA NSCLC</u>
</p><p>As discussed previously, the stage IIIA NSCLC patient group consist of five broad treatment strategies; those treated with Chemotherapy and Surgery (CS), Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy (CR), Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Surgery (CRS), Radiotherapy only (R) and Surgery only (S). We combined and weighted each of the treatment strategies for stage IIIA patients into a single treatment strategy within the model, with the split between each of the treatment shown in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab21/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab21" rid-ob="figobch2appitab21">Table 23</a>.</p><p>In the base case, the PSA with 5,000 iterations and every analysis shown in <a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/table/ch2.appi.tab41/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appitab41" rid-ob="figobch2appitab41">Table 43</a>, CT followed by MRI is a dominant strategy as compared to the no imaging strategy (which means that CT followed by MRI produced more benefits and cost less as compared to the no imaging strategy). In the base case, PSA and 16 of the 21 sensitivity analyses presented in the same table, MRI compared to CT followed by MRI, was a dominant strategy (meaning that MRI produced more benefits and cost less than CT followed by MRI). Of the strategies where MRI only was not dominant compared to CT followed by MRI, three had ICERS below &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY, one had an ICER between &#x000a3;20,000 and &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY, and one had an ICER above &#x000a3;30,000 per QALY.</p><p>The OSA associated with the stage IIIA analysis of CT followed by MRI compared to no imaging when QALYs are worth &#x000a3;20,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig16/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig16" rid-ob="figobch2appifig16">Figure 16</a>) and &#x000a3;30,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig17/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig17" rid-ob="figobch2appifig17">Figure 17</a>) both show that no parameter varied within their plausible threshold was able to make CT followed by MRI cost-ineffective. A further two analyses of MRI only compared to CT followed by MRI where QALYs are worth &#x000a3;20,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig18/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig18" rid-ob="figobch2appifig18">Figure 18</a>) and &#x000a3;30,000 (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig19/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig19" rid-ob="figobch2appifig19">Figure 19</a>) show that the parameters concerned with the sensitivity of CT scanning, when increased to 0.997, and the parameter concerned with the prevalence of brain metastases in stage IIIA patients, when lowered to 0.046, could render MRI cost-ineffective at both these thresholds.</p><p>The CEAC for stage IIIA (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig20/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig20" rid-ob="figobch2appifig20">Figure 20</a>) shows that the MRI only strategy has an equal chance of being cost-effective compared to CT followed by MRI at a willingness-to-pay threshold of &#x000a3;0 per QALY, whilst the probability of the &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; strategy is around 6%. As the willingness-to-pay increases, the probability of the MRI only strategy being the most cost-effective also increase whilst both CT followed by MRI and no imaging decrease.

Furthermore, the vast majority of the iterations on this figure fall below the dark purple line demarcating a threshold of &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY, which in turn gives us considerable confidence that the ICER is below &#x000a3;20,000 per QALY.</p><p>A further similar comparison of MRI alone compared to the CT followed by MRI strategy (<a class="figpopup" href="/books/NBK558780/figure/ch2.appi.fig22/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-figpopup="figch2appifig22" rid-ob="figobch2appifig22">Figure 22</a>) showed that the average iteration marker is still in the south-east quadrant, meaning that MRI alone is a dominant strategy as compared to CT followed by MRI, although not as pronounced as CT followed by MRI compared to &#x02018;no imaging.</p><p>Based on these results, we can conclude that for people with stage IIIA NSCLC, CT followed by MRI is preferable to the &#x02018;no imaging&#x02019; strategy as it is dominant. However, a further pairwise comparison of MRI alone as the sole imaging strategy as compared to CT followed by MRI shows MRI alone to be the dominant strategy, and therefore the overall most cost-effective strategy for detecting brain metastases in stage IIIA NSCLC patients prior to radical treatment with curative intent.</p><p>In summary:-

We made use of a wide range of sensitivity and scenario analyses to explore the uncertainty in the model and can be confident that our conclusions, certainly for stages I and IIIA, are robust to plausible variations in parameters.</p><p>The model is also characterised by a number of important limitations; the diagnostic accuracy data was of low quality, the prevalence data came from a retrospective analysis, the proportion of people with 4+ brain mets was an important but highly uncertain parameter, the costs of systemic therapy were crudely captured, the effectiveness of treatment pathways was crudely captured, the survival curves and progression data were drawn from partly indirect populations and a large amount of parameters were underpinned by committee assumptions (the proportion of patients receiving different potential treatments upon diagnosis and progression, the health state occupancy costs and the consequences upon presentation). We also had to make a number of assumptions about the way that survival curves for the different groups were related to each other and the way that False Negative patients&#x02019; progression would be accelerated. While we think that all of these assumptions were justified and we tested them in sensitivity analysis, they are not based on directly observed data in the population of interest (although this limitation is common to at least some populations in all economic models examining diagnostic test accuracy).</p></div></div></div><div id="ch2.appj"><h2 id="_ch2_appj_">Appendix J.

<p>Concerns about inconsistency of effects across studies, occurring when there is unexplained variability in the treatment effect demonstrated across studies (heterogeneity), after appropriate pre-specified subgroup analyses have been conducted. This was assessed using the I<sup>2</sup> statistic.</p>
<p>N/A: Inconsistency was marked as not applicable if data on the outcome was only available from one study.</p>
<p>Not serious: If the I<sup>2</sup> was less than 33.3%, the outcome was not downgraded.</p>
<p>Serious: If the I<sup>2</sup> was between 33.3% and 66.7%, the outcome was downgraded one level.</p>
<p>Very serious: If the I<sup>2</sup> was greater than 66.7%, the outcome was downgraded two levels.</p>
<p>Outcomes meeting the criteria for downgrading above were not downgraded if there was evidence the effect size was not meaningfully different between studies with the smallest and largest effect sizes.</p>

<p>The line of no effect was defined as the MID. The outcome was downgraded once if the 95% confidence interval for the effect size crossed the line of no effect (i.e. the outcome was not statistically significant), and twice if the sample size of the study was sufficiently small that it is not plausible any realistic effect size could have been detected. The committee agreed that a sample size of 25 or less would result in such a downgrade.</p>
<p>Outcomes meeting the criteria for downgrading above were not downgraded if the confidence interval was sufficiently narrow that the upper and lower bounds would correspond to clinically equivalent scenarios.</p>

Adding a contrast enhanced CT of the brain at this time represents a small opportunity cost, both to the NHS and the patient and may help to streamline the diagnostic pathway, clarifying at the earliest possible time whether patients are suitable for treatment with curative intent or not. Furthermore, treatment for brain metastases in advanced disease is becoming more common, and these people would not normally receive brain imaging until presenting with symptoms. Their outcomes might be improved with earlier diagnosis.</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_1" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">Relevance to NICE guidance</td><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">Medium priority: a recommendation was made on the use of contrast enhanced MRI brain if there is a suspicion of brain metastasis on CT in patients with stage II NSCLC being treated with curative intent. A further recommendation has been made to offer contrast enhanced MRI brain for patients with stage IIIA NSCLC being treated with curative intent. While it is a recommended imaging modality, the sensitivity and specificity of CT in this population are also somewhat uncertain and this research would help to resolve these uncertainties.</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_1" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">Current evidence base</td><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">The quality of the evidence included in the clinical review ranged from very low to moderate, therefore there is a need for higher quality RCT evidence.</td></tr><tr><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_1" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">Equality</td><td headers="hd_h_ch2.appj.tab2_1_1_1_2" rowspan="1" colspan="1" style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top;">This study could improve equality of access to brain imaging prior to treatment with curative intent.
