A simple healthcare-economic calculation can be used to demonstrate the superior cost-effectiveness of antivenoms in preventing death and disability.
Single photon emission tomography (SPECT) as an imaging modality demonstrated superior cost-effectiveness in the CeCAT trial 2007 [ 29].
An incremental net benefit regression analysis will be performed to ascertain which sub-groups benefit more from the intervention in terms of superior cost-effectiveness.
In the FERGICOR study, which compared two different treatment strategies including a low-dose IV iron sucrose (IS) and high-dose IV ferric carboxymaltose (FC) arm in patients with IBD, a superior cost-effectiveness of high-dose IV was suggested.
The result is that despite evidence of superior cost-effectiveness of surgical castration, LHrH agonists have become the predominant mode of castration, often instituted earlier in the disease than originally intended when castration for advanced prostate cancer was first described.
The cost-effectiveness analysis showed that Internet treatment had superior cost-effectiveness ratios in relation to group treatment both at post-treatment and follow-up concerning direct costs of therapist time and psychiatrist assessment.
Defining effect as proportion of PDSS responders, the cost-effectiveness analysis concerning therapist time showed that Internet treatment had superior cost-effectiveness ratios in relation to group treatment both at post-treatment and follow-up.
The feasibility and superior cost-effectiveness of this method encourage further confirmation of the results with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods to evaluate the prognostic impact.
Defining effect as proportion of PDSS responders, the cost-effectiveness analysis showed that Internet treatment had superior cost-effectiveness ratios in relation to group treatment both at post-treatment and follow-up (see Table 4).
