PRM36 NONPARAMETRIC ESTIMATION OF INCREMENTAL COST EFFECTIVENESS RATIO ACCOUNTING FOR SKEWNESS

Incremental Cost-Effectiveness (ICE) Concepts

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...

Multiple Decision Criteria for Assessing An Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio of Expensive Health Technologies.

Incremental cost-effectiveness of initial cataract surgery.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to perform a reference case, cost-utility analysis of initial cataract surgery using the current literature on cataract outcomes and complications. DESIGN Computer-based econometric modeling. METHODS Visual acuity data of patients treated and observed over a 4-month postoperative period was obtained from the US National Cataract Patient Outcomes Researc...

Incremental cost effectiveness of laser photocoagulation for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization.

OBJECTIVE To perform a patient preference-based, incremental cost-effectiveness analysis for laser treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. DESIGN Computer-based econometric modeling. METHODS The cost effectiveness of laser photocoagulation therapy was compared with the natural course of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization. The model applied long-term visual data from previou...
