The CEAC illustrates the probability that laparoscopic treatment will be deemed cost-effective at different societal WTP per QALY gained.
This figure shows that if societal WTP for a QALY is low, conventional follow-up is certainly the most cost-effective strategy.
The most recent conference took place in Ede, The Netherlands, with the main theme of "The Societal Value of Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatments of Rare Diseases (ICORD ).
In developing countries, most studies have used contingent valuation methods to elicit societal WTP for community health insurance [ 16- 18] and vaccination against infectious diseases [ 19- 21].
A study in Canada reported smoking and drug plans to be significant explanatory factors of higher costs from different societal, Ministry of Health, and patient perspectives.
24 In addition, by exploring a cost-effectiveness threshold value in Malaysia, estimated in terms of societal WTP per QALY (WTP/QALY), health care decision making will be improved.
