Based on the obtained data, 5 different energy retrofit scenarios were studied with different performance and cost-effectiveness targets, compatible with some European available financial mechanisms to promote energy retrofit of buildings.
For the NHSHC programme to achieve its cost-effectiveness targets more must be done to improve uptake.
Malnourished adults represent a particularly vulnerable population in critical need of innovative interventions to improve early ART outcomes, and cost-effectiveness targets for clinical studies are a means to ensure limited health resources can be used to greatest benefit.
With the given set of assumptions and using USD 200 250 as a cost-effectiveness target, TB prevalence around 1.5% was identified as the decision-making-point whether to employ X-ray screening for all.
In terms of both clinical and cost-effectiveness targeting the 6 mo–5 y-old for vaccination, even with a step by step approach, represents the best use of public funding, in that it yields the lowest ICER and the lowest incidence of influenza infections.
For instance, if there are no herd effects resulting from the additional types now included in the infant vaccination programme then the cost effectiveness of targeting all high risk groups would be reduced from over £180 000 to around £47 000 per QALY gained.
Other offshore areas, mainly along the north-western and southern boundary, also had higher selection frequencies, because of the high cost effectiveness of achieving targets in these locations.
Several studies have reported on the global and regional cost effectiveness of interventions targeting breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer.
Several studies have reported on the global and regional cost effectiveness of interventions targeting cataract, 9 trachoma, 10 refractive error, 11 and different causes of hearing impairment.
A positive deviation beyond the level agreed (confidential and individual between each pharmaceutical company and the Department of Health) would lead to a price adjustment down to achieve the target cost effectiveness.
Certain groups of women are at higher risk for HPV infection, and the cost effectiveness of vaccinating such target groups may be more favorable than a universal vaccination program.
