Estimation of ‘spectrum value’: A discrete choice experiment to investigate the willingness-to-pay for narrow-spectrum based on other antimicrobial characteristics

While narrow-spectrum antimicrobials are preferred for targeted therapy by health practitioners with AMS expertise, price significantly influenced drug choice. Willingness-to-pay values reflect the knowledge and experience of AMS experts who are best-placed to gauge the opportunity costs of paying more for narrow-spectrum antimicrobials. These findings can inform the quantification of spectrum-value for health-system funding decisions.

Abstract

While narrow-spectrum antimicrobials are preferred for targeted therapy by health practitioners with AMS expertise, price significantly influenced drug choice. Willingness-to-pay values reflect the knowledge and experience of AMS experts who are best-placed to gauge the opportunity costs of paying more for narrow-spectrum antimicrobials. These findings can inform the quantification of spectrum-value for health-system funding decisions.
