Cost-utility analysis (CUA) has become widely used, particularly in the United Kingdom, compared with other techniques within cost-effectiveness analysis. CUA uses metrics such as the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) to assess the effectiveness of an intervention compared with an alternative. The QALY accounts for mortality (life years) and morbidity (

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 ...
