Improving the mechanism design may include additional costs, thus its feasibility depends on the final applicable design.
In the standard care arm, the patient must go to the hospital pharmacy to pick up the medication, which would include additional costs in transportation and working-time losses as previously mentioned.
This estimate does not include additional costs, such as the fee for general practitioners or the potential need for revaccinations.
This does not include additional costs such as for coordination among centers and long-term storage of specimens.
Since the cost component in the calculations primarily should include additional costs of IPS, costs that would otherwise be incurred in TAU should be subtracted.
These findings have implications for cost benefit analyses in that that there is no reason to include additional costs associated with smoking cessation as a consequence of increased health-care use.
If we were to include additional costs as associated with the loss of earnings, we would expect this to increase the financial risk-protection benefits for both interventions, and make prevention interventions even more attractive per dollar invested.
Don't forget to include additional costs such as property taxes, insurance, utilities and land rental fees.
As the conventional approach based on the differential global positioning system (DGPS) presents several drawbacks, including additional cost or the impracticality of setting up nearby base stations in challenging environments, we introduce an alternative approach, Modified Kin-VADASE (MKin-VADASE), based on a modified Kin-VADASE approach without the requirement to have ground-base stations.
The secondary aim is to identify barriers and facilitating factors, including additional cost via an incremental cost effectiveness analysis, for the implementation of mobile phone technology for supporting self-management in low-to-middle income countries.
