PMC23 UNDERESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTY IN COST-EFFECTIVENESS ACCEPTABILITY CURVES AND EXPECTED VALUE OF INFORMATION ANALYSES

Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves--caveats quantified.

Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves (CEACs) have become widely used in applied health technology assessment and at the same time are criticized as unreliable decision-making tool. In this paper we show how using CEACs differs from maximizing expected net benefit (NB) and when it can lead to inconsistent decisions. In the case of comparing two alternatives we show the limits of the discrepan...

The Core Value of Cost-Effectiveness Analyses.

O ver the past 4 years, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has transformed the cardiac care of patients in the United States with severe aortic stenosis (SAS). In September 2011, a balloon-expandable prosthesis (Sapien, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of inoperable patients on the basis of a randomi...

Evaluating Cost Efficiency in Fuzzy Environment by Using Expected Value

Today, one of the most fundamental issues within the field of industrial and nonindustrial activities is evaluate the costs performance of the units which are associated with industrial and nonindustrial activities. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for evaluating performance. Fuzzy sets theory is a powerful tool for mentioning ambiguous situations. Traditional DEA model...
