What Is Cost- Minimization Analysis?
2009This chapter analyses the appropriate use of cost-minimization analysis (CMA) as a valid and reliable method of health economic evaluation based on high-quality sources of clinical evidence with regard to the clinical equivalence between two drugs. The chapter emphasizes the manner in which CMA has previously been misused to support ‘me-too’ drugs ...
