CER was 20 360,90 USD for one patient with viral load <50 copies/ml (16 462,65–41 640,81 USD in sensitivity analysis). Cost of one patient with achieved viral load <50 copies/ml was lower for ETR group. CONCLUSIONS: According to the model ETR seems to be much more effective than placebo with affordable CER incremental ratio. Evaluation of ETR treatment costeffectiveness in common practice in Ru...

This white paper examines the application of managing Microsoft SQL Server in a storage environment utilizing multiple storage configurations to optimize performance costeffectiveness of storage allocations.
