The intervention was Vision ALD administered by a healthcare professional in a community or acute setting. NICE published guidance MTG15 in July 2013 recommending that the case for adopting Vision ALD was supported by the evidence.

Israel) only included the use of Vision ALD in a hospital setting in their economic model and did not address its use in a community setting. Although we modelled treatment costs, these were not influential in the cost-consequence analysis due to these very small differences between outcome prevalences and are not shown here for simplicity. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated for each study, according to the model being used. You've probably seen the dramatic scenes in shows and movies where water gushes out of a pregnant person. Should you experience a leak prior to 37 weeks gestation, you may have a condition known as PPROM or preterm premature rupture of membranes.Current Prepartal women is usually at home provided the amniotic fluid reagent paper for oneself, i. Plus, if you think you have an issue, you can take it with you to the doctor to help determine what the problem is. With AmnioCheck, you can enjoy the benefits of early diagnosis of conditions like Premature Rupture of Membrane (PROM) and Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane (PPROM).

Cost savings were only realisable if the care pathway was altered so that the initial testing could be conducted by a lower cost healthcare professional.

In the case of Vision ALD, nearly half of women presenting with unexplained vaginal wetness could avoid an unnecessary speculum examination, which some women may find uncomfortable or embarrassing. Comparative studies between a novel diagnostic intervention and a ‘gold standard’ reference comparator, such as those included in this assessment, can only demonstrate non-inferiority of the intervention. The results as submitted by the sponsor indicate that Vision ALD has a high sensitivity ranging from 95. Vision ALD can reduce the number of unnecessary speculum examinations by around 42 %, and it is also less invasive than the speculum examination, which may benefit patients.

But if the lack of amniotic fluid – which normally cushions the umbilical cord – causes the umbilical cord to become compressed, it can prevent your baby from getting enough food and oxygen. Unjustified leaks, even in the absence of the aforementioned risk factors, can be linked to PROM and PPROM. The sensitivity of Vision ALD for the diagnosis of ROM is very high and comparable to that for speculum examination.

The EAC’s revisions to the economic model are separated into PROM and PPROM models, as the two conditions vary considerably in treatment, infection rates and costs. AL-SENSE™ samples continuously, reacting to minute leak, features not offered by any other product for hospital or home use.
