Cost-effectiveness analysis of optimal control measures for tuberculosis.
We propose and analyze an optimal control problem where the control system is a mathematical model for tuberculosis that considers reinfection. The control functions represent the fraction of early latent and persistent latent individuals that are treated. Our aim was to study how these control measures should be implemented, for a certain time period, in order to reduce the number of active in...
متن کاملOptimal control strategies and cost-effectiveness analysis of a malaria model
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of three malaria preventive measures (use of treated bednets, spray of insecticides and a possible treatment of infective humans that blocks transmission to mosquitoes). For this, we consider a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of the disease that includes these measures. We first consider the consta...
متن کاملDifferent approaches to modeling the cost-effectiveness of schistosomiasis control.
The limited economic resources available for health care in developing countries necessitates the involvement of cost analysis in the planning of any control intervention. A number of studies have undertaken cost-effectiveness analysis of schistosomiasis control, and the methodologies utilized in both cost and effectiveness evaluation are discussed. In attempting to relate cost to effectiveness...
متن کاملMedicare and cost-effectiveness analysis.
The Medicare program has been a notable holdout in the global movement toward the use of cost-effectiveness analysis to inform health care decisions. Unlike the reimbursement authorities in Canada and Australia, and in many countries in Europe, Medicare officials do not formally consider cost-effectiveness when determining the coverage of new medical interventions, even as they also confront ev...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness Analysis with Influence Diagrams.
BACKGROUND Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is used increasingly in medicine to determine whether the health benefit of an intervention is worth the economic cost. Decision trees, the standard decision modeling technique for non-temporal domains, can only perform CEA for very small problems. OBJECTIVE To develop a method for CEA in problems involving several dozen variables. METHODS We exp...
