Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Radiology
Radiology, 2001In the past 20 years, there has been increasing recognition of the need to consider cost in medical decision making. This period has seen an explosion in the number of economic evaluations appearing in the medical literature. Cost-effectiveness analysis is an objective systematic technique for comparing alternative health care strategies on both cost ...

Will Cost Effectiveness Analysis Worsen the Cost Effectiveness of Health Care?
International Journal of Health Services, 1988Cost effectiveness analysis is increasingly advocated as a basis for health policy. Analysts often compare expensive interventions with highly cost-effective programs such as hypertension screening, implying that if the former were curtailed resources would be reallocated to the latter and the efficiency of health care would improve.

The Road to Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly. Health and Society, 1982the application of cost-benefit analysis to health care can be found in the work of Selma Mushkin (1958), work which is both in the mainstream of economics and in the vanguard of health economics. In cost-benefit analysis the mainstream has meant a preoccupation with the measurement (valuation) of economic benefits. As seen by economists, the essential

Cost-effectiveness analysis and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2004Cost-effectiveness analysis is a formal method of comparing alternative medical interventions with regard to their resource utilization (costs) and outcomes (effectiveness). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio is an informative measure generated from such an analysis and represents the ratio of the difference in cost between two medical ...

Medical Care, 2005
This article proposes ways to improve the credibility and use of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) in healthcare decision-making. We argue that the major issue is not the credibility of CEA as a methodology; although there are methodologic challenges, they can be addressed. Two issues, however, will require effort on the part of stakeholders to achieve

A Primer on Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and SurgeryA cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a type of health economics model that uses a systematic approach to simplify the complexities that exist in health-care decision-making. A CEA aids in medical decision-making by considering both the costs of a treatment and how effective that treatment is for at least 2 competing strategies.

AXIOMATIC FOUNDATIONS FOR COST‐EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS [PDF]
Health Economics, 2013 ABSTRACTWe show that individual utilities can be measured in units of healthy life years. Social preferences over these life metric utilities are assumed to satisfy the Pareto principle, anonymity, and invariance to a change in origin. These axioms generate a utilitarian social welfare function implying the use of cost‐effectiveness analysis in ...

Cost-effectiveness analysis in anaesthesia
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1999In order to preserve the quality of anaesthetic care under cost containment programmes, the concept of value-based anaesthesia was introduced. To achieve this goal, namely, the provision of the best possible care attainable at a reasonable cost, studies are necessary that compare anaesthetic techniques in terms of both quality and costs, e.g.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Pathology
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1999Cost-effectiveness analysis has become increasingly important in all areas of medicine. This article provides an overview of cost-effectiveness analysis, the limitations of cost-effectiveness analyses in the current anatomic pathology literature, and the benefits of performing cost-effectiveness analysis.

Longevity bias in cost‐effectiveness analysis
Health Economics, 2006AbstractWe use a simple lifetime utility maximization model to study the problem of medical resource allocation. This model leads to a welfare specification with a QALY (quality‐adjusted life‐year) component that captures an individual's preferences over both life expectancy and health status.
