In many cases it is difficult to apply cost-effectiveness analysis since the health effects are difficult to express in a single effectiveness unit. Apart from affecting survival, a treatment may for instance also affect the health status, which means that the effects on health status will not be included if the gained life years are used as the ...

Synthesizes simultaneously multiple outcomes (e.g. on both morbidity and mortality, pain and physical function, but also quality) into a single measure; the basis for this type of analysis is that each outcome is weighted by a person’s preference (“utility”) for experiencing the outcome; CUA relates therefore the costs of different procedures to the ...
