Sentence examples for average incremental effect from inspiring English sources
When looking at the comparison between RPT and TAU, findings from the completers' analysis did not support the cost-effectiveness of the FDA-recommended intervention, as the average incremental effect for QALY was negative.
The average incremental effect is unaffected by choice of alternative functional forms.
The average incremental effect varies more with choice of functional form when comorbidities are included, but all of the slope estimates are smaller when compared with a specification unconditional on comorbidities. Figure 1 shows the average incremental cost of diabetes as a function of the number of years with diabetes.
When individuals whose diabetes began before age 21 years (a proxy for type 1 diabetes) are dropped from the sample, the average incremental effect of an additional year with diabetes is slightly higher, but not statistically significantly different from the full sample.
When we restrict the sample to people whose diabetes began at age 21 years or later and at age 25 years or later, the average incremental effect of an additional year with diabetes is $184 and $173, respectively (results are available upon request).
Ordinary least squares, a two-part model using generalized linear model with log-link and gamma variance in the second part, and a two-part model using ordinary least squares on log expenditures with a heteroscedastic smearing retransformation (11) all yield average incremental effects of an additional year with diabetes near $158.
In the analyses from both perspectives the mean incremental health care costs were weighted against the mean incremental effect in terms of quality adjusted life years (QALY).
A cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed, weighing incremental costs against the mean incremental effect in terms of quality of life based.
The mean incremental costs were weighted against the mean incremental effects in terms of QALY.
In high-risk operable patients, even if the minor differences in 30-day and 1-year mortality are taken into account, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) remains on average above €750 000 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained (incremental cost: €20 400; incremental effect: 0.03 QALYs).
