As a consequence, the economic evaluation of IPTp-SP should also include the estimation of the cut-off levels of the intervention costs beyond which the strategy ceases to be cost-effective under different epidemiological conditions, levels of efficacy and factors that may limit effectiveness.
At a cost-effectiveness threshold of £20 000 the EUROACTION intervention will be cost-effective in under 6% of cases.
Unfortunately this means that it is very unlikely that a professional repair will be cost-effective, except under warranty.
Using these distributions, the probability of each formula being cost-effective at different cost-effectiveness thresholds was estimated.
Table 2 shows the probability of screening being cost effective at different cost effectiveness thresholds under the six different scenarios for the effect of screening on breast cancer incidence.
The CEACs were calculated from net monetary benefit over a range of willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds for each strategy, and produced by plotting the probability of being cost-effective for a strategy under different WTP thresholds (Barton et al, 2008).
Our study delineated the conditions under which different testing and antiviral strategies may be cost-effective.
Our study delineated the conditions under which different testing and antiviral strategies may be cost-effective, showing the importance of accuracy, as seen with PCR or highly sensitive clinical judgment.
But under certain conditions, they very well might be cost-effective redistribution policies.
First, will they be cost-effective?
Would routine newborn sequencing be cost-effective?
