GOLETA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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.”
