OBJECTIVES To investigate the cost-effectiveness of a telehealth intervention for primary care patients with raised cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. DESIGN A prospective within-trial patient-level economic evaluation conducted alongside a randomised controlled trial. SETTING Patients recruited through primary care, and intervention delivered via telehealth service. PARTICIPANTS Adults w...

AIMS To investigate the cost-effectiveness of up to £400 worth of financial incentives for smoking cessation in pregnancy as an adjunct to routine health care. DESIGN Cost-effectiveness analysis based on a Phase II randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a cost-utility analysis using a life-time Markov model. SETTING The RCT was undertaken in Glasgow, Scotland. The economic analysis was under...

OBJECTIVES Although combined androgen blockade with flutamide plus medical or surgical castration is effective in metastatic prostate cancer, debate exists over whether it is cost effective. METHODS Decision analysis model of hypothetical cohorts of 70-year-old men presenting with metastatic prostate cancer, using a societal perspective, calculated anticipated survival and incremental cost pe...

In Part I of this paper the development of allocated and incremental cost and revenue techniques was described. have become predominant. In contrast, methodologies for dealing with revenues, particularly incremental measures, are in their infancy. Part II of the paper describes the state-of-the-art for these methods. This review is explicitly not meant as a cookbook of methodology, and the read...

OBJECTIVE To compare the cost-effectiveness of eflornithine and melarsoprol in the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis. METHOD We used data from a Médecins Sans Frontières treatment project in Caxito, Angola to do a formal cost-effectiveness analysis, comparing the efficiency of an eflornithine-based approach with melarsoprol. Endpoints calculated were: cost per death avoided; incremen...

background: galactosemia is a congenital metabolic disorder that can damage the health of a newborn. screening is an important step to prevent and treat this condition. due to increasing health care costs and limited financial resources of health systems, the most suitable economic analysis tool should be applied. the aim of this study was to analyze the cost-utility of neonatal screening progr...

In this paper, we perform the analysis of cost effective capacity expansion strategies with incremental deployment aspects of the forthcoming mobile heterogeneous networks from beyond 4 th and 5 th generation. We consider different over time (up to year 2025) increasing traffic volumes in order to determine the most cost-effective capacity expansion that would minimize aggregate incremental cos...

UNLABELLED This is a cost-of-illness study of osteoporotic fractures in Denmark estimating the incremental societal cost associated with osteoporotic fractures, with both direct cost and productivity cost. This study includes cost regarding hospitals, general practices, the patients, the municipalities and regions. The total cost of osteoporotic fractures in Denmark was estimated at EUR 1.563 b...
