For the scenario with eight devices and 0.1 deliveries monitored with a scalp electrode, the costs were, however, so low that ST analysis would still be considered cost-effective, yielding a incremental cost of €11 and an incremental effect of 0.0054 QALYs, that is an ICER of €2105 per QALY.
In the base-case analysis, the ploidy 4 cell strategy was cost-effective, yielding an increase of 0.032 QALY and an ICER of $18 264/QALY compared to no screening.
116– 120 The use of letrozole in the extended adjuvant treatment was also proved to be cost-effective, yielding an ICER of Can$34,058 per QALY in Canada 121 and US$28,728 per QALY in the US.
We found that evaluation and treatment of active cases for new immigrants with tuberculosis B-notifications is highly cost-effective, yielding quality-adjusted life years at approximate cost neutrality.
Directly observed preventive therapy, however, does not appear cost-effective (yielding QALYs at a cost of in excess of $100 000) in this population (we have assumed that there is no HIV infection in this population, and we have not modeled any other risk factors for progression).
The MPS is a cost effective device yielding many benefits for prone positioning in critically ill patients with severe atelectasis and ARDS.
First, DSA is both more effective, yielding higher QALYs, and less costly in overall costs than CTA and MRA.
Chain referrals via email proved to be efficient and effective, yielding a diverse group of respondents within a short time period, and at negligible cost.
Chain referral sampling via email proved to be the most efficient and effective, yielding a small yet diverse group of respondents within one month, and at negligible cost.
The e-mail measure was considered effective, yielding few false positives.
