Abstract Cost-utility analysis (CUA) is a form of evaluation that focuses particular attention on the quality of the health outcome produced or forgone by health programmes or treatments. It has many similarities to cost-effectiveness analysis {CEA), and thus all the points discussed in Chapter 4 on cost analysis and many of those ...

Treatment costs in hodgkin's disease: A cost-utility analysis
European Journal of Cancer, 1996The aim of this study was to estimate costs of treatment for Hodgkin's disease (HD) and the outcome in health in terms of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), and compare these to a constructed nontreatment alternative. All 55 patients treated for HD at the oncological unit of the University Hospital of Tromsø between 1985 and 1993 were included.

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 (

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 ...

1992It is generally agreed that the final output of the health care system is expected to be an improvement in health status. The various components of the health care system produce a wide variety of intermediate outputs which are almost invariably used as inputs into another production function which may again produce intermediate outputs and so on, but ...
