Inogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN), a medical technology company
offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare
setting, today shared the results of a study published in the
journal Pulmonary Therapy, demonstrating the association of
portable oxygen concentrators with increased survival and
cost-effectiveness ratio when compared to other long-term oxygen
therapies.
The study sourced data from the French national healthcare
system database, the Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS).
With a sample size of over 244,000 adult long-term oxygen therapy
patients from 2013-2020, it is likely the largest retrospective
claims database assessment study of long-term oxygen therapy to
date. The results showed that portable oxygen concentrator (POC)
use, either alone or in combination with other oxygen modalities,
was associated with improved survival and similar healthcare
resource use, such as hospitalizations and specialist visits,
compared to stationary concentrators, compressed tanks and liquid
oxygen. Additionally, based on the incremental cost-effectiveness
ratio (ICER), POCs were cost-effective compared to stationary
concentrators, compressed tanks, and liquid oxygen.
In a secondary analysis of the POC group, two sub-groups were
classified based on device autonomy i.e. higher mobility and lower
mobility groups. The higher mobility POC sub-group were allocated
Inogen devices and had an autonomy greater than 5 hours, while the
lower mobility POC sub-group were allocated non-Inogen devices and
had an autonomy less than 5 hours. Within the POC group, the higher
mobility POC sub-group were associated with better survival, lower
healthcare resource use and lower related costs vs the lower
mobility POC sub-group.
“The study highlights what we have known anecdotally about
portable oxygen therapies, and Inogen devices,” said Kevin Smith,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have long believed that
mobile oxygen therapies, primarily portable oxygen concentrators,
are associated with improved health outcomes, affordability, and
patient quality of life. We are proud that this study confirms the
value proposition of our devices. Looking forward, we will continue
to expand the adoption of our effective and high-quality POCs,
enabling even more patients to experience these benefits.”
