At the population level, all vaccination strategies were cost effective (calculated as incremental cost per QALY gained, comparing vaccination with no vaccination) taking the country specific thresholds into account.
Subsequently the probability of being cost-effective is calculated assuming the above compliance differences are observed in trials with 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 patients.
Additionally, the probability that each strategy would be the most cost-effective was calculated at different thresholds for willingness to pay (WTP) for health gain.
The probability of staying on branded risperidone being cost-effective was calculated for various outcomes of a hypothetical study that would investigate non-compliance following generic substitution of risperidone.
To examine whether PCI is a cost-effective therapy, we calculated the ICER for PCI. Figure 2 shows the ICER for PCI in different aspects of cardiovascular events in the elderly-MS groups.
For an intervention to be cost-effective, the INMB (calculated as [QALY(A) – QALY(B)] × λ – [Costs(A) – Costs(B ]) needs to be positive.
"Cost-effective Conservation: Calculating Biodiversity and Logging Trade-offs in Southeast Asia," by Brendan Fisher et al, claims to "show that selectively logged forests represent a surprisingly low-cost option for conserving high levels of biodiversity".
As we do not know the threshold willingness to pay value for additional effectiveness associated with CBT, the probability that CBT will be considered cost effective was calculated for a range of threshold values and presented in a cost effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC).
Booth and Tueller (2003) state that if rangeland managers seek unbiased and cost-effective means of calculating vegetation cover, they should integrate remote-sensing techniques into rangeland assessments.
In addition, we used the base case data to conduct an incremental analysis after excluding the least cost-effective biologic therapy and calculated the incremental costs per additional PASI 75 or PGA 0/1 responder between the remaining biologic therapies.
Transportation companies can log on and find freight to fill empty space on trucks, ships and planes; choose cost-effective travel routes; calculate fuel taxes; look up accounts receivable and more.
