Conventional benchmarks of cost-effectiveness are typically set at 50,000 USD/QALY (35), although this threshold has been questioned and benchmarks of 109,000 297,000 USD/QALY may be more reflective of actual U.S. resource-allocation decisions (36).

A range of 405 € to 1081 € (converted from $ to € with an average 2004 exchange rate of 0.81 $/€) for the incremental costs provides a benchmark for the spread of costs among the matched studies.
The 'best options' are defined as interventions which are cost-effective as measured by the commonly used benchmark for cost-effectiveness in Australia of less than $50,000 per DALY (disability-adjusted life-year saved).
Public bus service represents a standardized output for benchmarking the cost of local government service provision.
Quality-adjusted life-years may not fully capture diverse benefits of public health interventions but are useful for benchmarking the cost effectiveness of public health against clinical services.
To provide a benchmark for the magnitude of cost burdens of TB care on patients, we expressed the expenditures as percentage of per-capita annual (or monthly) GDP (in I$) of the country and in the year when the study, which generated the cost estimates, was conducted.
This is probably still too much, but it does at least comfortably beat my benchmark: the cost of having one of my own shirts laundered at the hotel.Walking past the Revolutionary History Museum (now closed and being redeveloped as simply the "national museum"), on the way to Tiananmen Square, I recall another painful haggle.
In this retrospective cohort study of 7,758 patients with diabetes and hypertension, we used the stages of diabetic nephropathy defined by the ADA to benchmark medical care costs of hypertensive diabetic patients and quantified the increasingly higher costs observed across these stages.
