Spending money on basic health care, such as providing women over 50 with regular mammograms, is reckoned to be even more cost-effective, costing a mere $17,000 for each additional year of life.Ideally, such cool calculations would decide whether or not the EPA's clean-air proposals reach the statute book by June, when they are due to be issued in final form.
RESULTS: In the base case, universal screening is cost-effective, costing $84,773 per maternal QALY gained.
Knowles and his colleagues point to research in the Netherlands that said this approach was highly cost-effective, costing $8,700 for every year of life gained.
We find TKR to be highly cost-effective, costing £5623 per quality-adjusted life year gained for the average patient.
21 Non-selective mass vaccination in these high-risk districts would be cost-effective, costing $2,156 per DALY averted, $825 per cholera case averted, and $54,980 per death averted (Table 2, Figure 1).
Although LIA for anti-PM/Scl-75 and −100 antibodies and PM1-α ELISA have often been used recently [ 16, 31, 39- 43], the latter is not available in Japan and the former is not cost-effective, costing around 13,000 yen/sample (Cosmic Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
Although there are potential perinatal benefits associated with the IADPSG guidelines, these benefits alone do not justify the additional cost associated with tripling the number of GDM diagnoses in the U.S. Interestingly, when we limited the analysis to pregnancy alone, current GDM screening practices were not cost-effective, costing over half a million dollars per QALY gained.
No effective cost-control legislation is in sight.
Yes, expanded health-care coverage can't be sustained without effective cost control.
