Case Study: Linking Real-World Datasets to Identify Cost Drivers in Lung Transplantation

How a biotechnology company used real-world data analysis to uncover cost drivers and validate the economic impact of EVLP.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Real-World Data Integration – Linking registry and claims data to reveal drivers of cost.
  • Predictive Modeling – Logistic regression to identify high-cost patient segments.
  • Clinical & Economic Insights – Understanding drivers such as ECMO, acute rejection, and hospital length of stay.
  • Evidence-Driven Market Access – Strengthening payer discussions for novel transplant technologies.

Key Outcomes:

  • EVLP was not associated with increased payer costs.
  • Cost contributors identified—ECMO, acute rejection, commercial insurance, length of stay.
  • Findings accepted for podium presentation and peer-review submission.
