The observed differences in the cost effectiveness ratios between trial arms were not significant.
These analyses did not account for differences in the dispensation of the medications, but do suggest that the differences in the cost effectiveness of these 3 drugs may be greater in practice than reported here.
In accordance with the results reported by Nikolic et al, there were small differences in the cost effectiveness results when analysing men and women separately, and at different ages.
Country specific demographic variables and patterns of social contact affect the transmission of influenza and may result in differences between the cost effectiveness of vaccines for countries with different demographic profiles.
The key input parameter affecting the cost effectiveness was the relative risk of death from breast cancer; small differences in this parameter made substantial differences to the cost effectiveness.
Three recent studies demonstrated no significant difference in the cost-effectiveness of centre- versus home-based programs [ 25, 26, 28].
The largest difference in the cost-effectiveness ratio was observed among the 30-year-olds where costs were reduced significantly due to significant future net contributions to society.
The difference in glucose-lowering effect can be compensated for by increasing the insulin dose but there might be a difference in the cost-effectiveness and hypoglycemic episode.
Changes in the specificity of CATT and CATT titration, cost of pentamidine, and HAT prevalence decreased the difference in the cost-effectiveness ratio with the next most efficient algorithm.
2) There was no difference in the cost-effectiveness of step-down and outpatient treatment for patients with borderline PD. 3) Outpatient treatment was clinically effective for avoidant PD patients, but also the most costly for this PD subsample, owing to considerable adjuvant health services.
Like Michiels et al., these authors noted marked variations across studies in approaches, settings, populations, and assumptions, which led to important differences in the cost-effectiveness estimates [ 71].
