Cost-effectiveness issues in ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia has attracted considerable interest as a subject of clinical efficacy assessment research. This article summarizes recommendations made by the United States Public Health Service Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine and by a panel convened by the American Thoracic Society to address economic analyses in critical care. The following recommendations a...

Issues in cost effectiveness in health care.

Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is becoming increasingly popular as society moves toward rationalizing health costs. This review describes the applications and limitations of the technique. Conceptually simple though frequently complicated in application, CEA compares the cost of a procedure with its effectiveness, thus helping an administrator to judge whether the procedure is worth its cost...

Cost, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness.

Incremental or marginal cost-effectiveness ratios are founded on a number of assumptions that weaken their suitability as a way to balance competing economic and clinical priorities. We therefore propose a more relevant and responsible way to gauge the impact of clinical management strategies based on “consumer protection” principles—explicit disclosure of (1) the total magnitude of expected be...
