The phrase "averted compared to" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It may be intended to compare two situations or outcomes, but the construction is awkward and unclear.
Example: "The risks were averted compared to last year's projections, but the reasons for this improvement were not fully explored."
Alternatives: "avoided in comparison to" or "prevented relative to".
On the other hand, the better result in terms of number of new infections averted per 100,000 doses is obtained when medium- and high-risk behavior population groups are prioritized for vaccination, with 4 times more infections averted compared to vaccinating the general adult population (Table 3).
In Zambia, early NASG application costs $22.00 for each DALY averted compared to late application ($16.04/0.729 DALYs).
We estimate the community intervention to be most cost-effective, with an ICER of $79 per DALY averted compared to current practice alone.
3. The earlier seasonal UCT of equal total value to the standard intervention is more cost-effective per case of acute malnutrition averted compared to the standard intervention.
In Zambia, early NASG application cost a nearly identical $22.00 for each DALY averted compared to late application ($16.04/0.729 DALYs).
Since food cost comprises the largest component cost, low food cost if delivered through government run CNCs resulted in substantially lower ICERs for extra IM averted compared to ICERs for NGO run CNCs and the hypothetical highest cost scenario.
The health benefits correspond to $1.3 billion per year in externalities averted, compared with $5.9 billion per year in economic savings.
The second sensitivity analysis, including only participants who completed all 12 monthly falls diaries, resulted in ICER result much closer to the base case (£3,118 per fall averted, compared with £3,320).
Outcome measures were number of patients infected, number of deaths, cost (in US$) per case prevented, and cost per death prevented compared to baseline where no preventive measures were implemented, as well as incremental cost per death averted compared with the corresponding lower level of alert status.
The clinical/CD4 arm had an ICER of $88 per DALY averted compared with clinical alone, and the viral load option was dominated compared with the clinical/CD4 arm.
At a coverage of 95%, phacoemulsification had an incremental cost effectiveness ratio of $Int43 per DALY averted compared with extracapsular cataract extraction at 95% coverage.
