In the lead-up to this meeting, there was a significant level of agreement about the low cost, cost-effective, feasible and evidence-informed interventions that could most effectively reduce the burden of NCDs in low- and middle-income countries [ 4, 5, 7, 9, 10].
To handle this aspect of reporting for such a wide range of interventions, we classified interventions according to their degree of cost effectiveness (not cost effective, cost effective, or very cost effective) in order to ascertain order of magnitude differences in cost effectiveness.
The probability of intervention being cost effective at cost effectiveness threshold of £30,000 per QALY was 47.9%.
The incremental cost effectiveness ratio remained highly cost effective during sensitivity analysis.
The lower the incremental cost effectiveness ratio, the more cost effective a technology [ 5].
Instead, to achieve anything like a 40% target by 2022 it will be necessary to exploit pretty much all cost effective and cost neutral measures.
"Sustainable land management, prevention of land degradation and rehabilitation of land is the most cost effective and cost beneficial ways to eradicate rural poverty," she added.
"At most, some of these products will be useful in high-cost niches where more cost effective alternatives have very specific limitations".
All of these consequences added to the secondary fragmentation costs, which is not cost effective.
Long term intensive outpatient programs are extremely cost effective and cost the insurer and or the paying patient and their family drastically less than residential programs.
While IPTi is shown to be low cost and highly cost effective in this analysis, this does not guarantee that it will be adopted as a strategy.
