PMC28 EXPERT SURVEY FOR INCREMENTAL COST-EFFECTIVENESS RATIO (ICER) THRESHOLD RANGE IN KOREA: DISCRETE CHOICE EXPERIMENTS

Acceptance of health technology assessment submissions with incremental cost-effectiveness ratios above the cost-effectiveness threshold

OBJECTIVES In health technology assessment (HTA) agencies where cost-effectiveness plays a role in decision-making, an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) threshold is often used to inform reimbursement decisions. The acceptance of submissions with ICERs higher than the threshold was assessed across different agencies and across indications, in order to inform future reimbursement submi...

Ranking in discrete choice experiments

A common problem in ethology is ranking of animal preferences for several discrete stimuli or options. We considered experiments where animals chose one of all possible simultaneously presented options. The animals might be observed at repeated occasions. In the ethological literature the analysis is often focused on testing the global hypotheses of no difference in preferences by non-parametri...

Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio analysis of biologic treatments for psoriasis at clinically significant evaluation time points.

The Spanish guidelines for the treatment of psoriasis recommend that drug choice should be guided by the criteria established in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) for each agent and that decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis and take into account economic considerations. Since the introduction of biologic agents, several authors have studied their cost-efficacy. However, n...
