The probability of supported employment being cost-effective using the NICE lower cost-effectiveness threshold of £20,000/QALY is 67.1%, while at the NICE upper cost-effectiveness threshold of £30,000/QALY, it is 75.2%.
If this parameter was increased to its upper limit, the incremental cost effectiveness ratio for vaccination still fell between one and three times the per capita gross domestic product, meeting the World Health Organization's criterion for "cost effective" interventions.
These threshold analyses aim to indicate an upper confidence limit for cost effectiveness, meaning there is a high probability that CBT would cost no more than an additional £270 per point reduction in BDI score.
In the figure, with both axes displayed on a log scale, diagonal lines moving from the lower left to the upper right direction are cost effectiveness isoquants, which means that any point on the same line as another point has the same average cost effectiveness ratio compared with the null.
They therefore have the potential to improve cost effectiveness of upper limb stroke rehabilitation.
They therefore have great potential to improve the cost effectiveness of upper limb stroke rehabilitation.
Only one parameter, when varied to its upper limits, pushed the incremental cost effectiveness ratio above one times the per capita gross domestic product: the probability of outpatient care for the severely symptomatic of 0.863 (versus 0.575 in the base case).
Decision makers should compare this upper limit of acceptable payment with estimated incremental cost effectiveness ratios to determine whether a given treatment is cost effective relative to the alternatives.
This mean value is at the upper end of the acceptable range for cost effectiveness in the English NHS.
We undertook substantial scenario analyses, including combinations of favourable and conservative vaccine assumptions, to provide estimates of the upper and lower bounds for impact and cost effectiveness.
Objective To compare the cost effectiveness of nurses and doctors in performing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy.
