Transit advocates have long complained that such cost-effectiveness tests have kept many projects from being built — especially light-rail projects, since streetcars are not fast — and made it much harder for transit projects to win federal financing than highway projects.
Third, limiting cost-effectiveness tests to clinical benefits for patients or explicit costs to the Medicare budget may fail to reflect the social costs of diseases.
Regulators generally require utility ratepayer-funded programs to meet rigid cost-effectiveness tests, and traditional financing programs target the greatest return on investment.
To cope with this issue, different techniques have been proposed to improve cost-effectiveness of test suites, such as Test Suite Minimization, also called test suite reduction, where redundant test cases are permanently removed; and Test Case Selection, which selects test cases based on changed parts of a System Under Test (SUT) (Yoo and Harman 2012).
A univariate sensitivity analysis of the incremental cost-effectiveness of test-treat over treat only to variability in the near-patient test parameters, test sensitivity, specificity, unit cost, and shelf-life, was carried out.
The cost-effectiveness of test-treat over a pandemic wave was analyzed.
Two publications evaluated the cost-effectiveness of testing ex-PWID in prison, with ICERs varying from about £20 000 10 to £55 000 9 per QALY gained.
All patients were asked to complete a diary of medical interactions over the next 6 months, from which economic data were extracted to model the cost-effectiveness of testing.
Further studies with larger population-based datasets are needed to determine the prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and the cost-effectiveness of testing women diagnosed with isolated breast cancer, aged 40 to 49 years old.
Data are also lacking on cost-effectiveness of pharyngeal testing, and of NG testing and anorectal CT testing in women.
