The lines joining the loci of the most cost-effective points form the "expansion path", which reveals the mix of interventions that would be chosen on cost-effective grounds for any given level of resource availability [ 5].
The potential usefulness of this information for health policy and planning can be seen in terms of confirming if current intervention strategies can be justified on cost-effectiveness grounds, and showing what other options would be cost-effective if additional resources became available.
It is unlikely that dapagliflozin will be used as first-line monotherapy, on cost-effectiveness grounds.
Therefore, the present work focuses on cost-effective phosphorus abatement.
A paper based on their findings, Towards a more realistic, cost effective and greener ground movement through Active Routing: Part 1, is published in IEEE Transactions for Intelligent Transportation Systems.
NICE is unlikely to reject a technology with a ratio in the range of £5,000£15,000000 per QALY solely on the grounds of cost ineffectiveness but would need special reasons for accepting technologies with ratios over £25,000 – £35,000 per QALY as cost effective [ 14].
But the government often bases a decision like this on whether it is cost effective".
And a cost effective one.
Schizophrenia treatment, for example, risks being overlooked on pure efficiency grounds in favour of more cost effective strategies for more common mental disorders.
In France, 30 the Netherlands, 31 and Ontario, Canada, 32 economic models indicated that vaccination was unlikely to be cost effective; in Spain the vaccine was not recommended on epidemiological grounds.
Apparently simple interventions may be deceptively alluring on cost and implementation grounds, although they will not be worth implementing if they are not effective [ 42].
