Table 5.
Cost-effectiveness of the artificial intelligence computer-aided diagnosis in polyp detection at colonoscopy
| Parameter | Conventional colonoscopy | CADe colonoscopy | CADe vs. conventional colonoscopy | ICER (cost per LY) | ICER (cost per QALY) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LY | 19.125 | 19.144 | 0.019 | Dominant* | Dominant* |
| QALY | 17.113 | 17.137 | 0.024 | ||
| Total cost | $3,004.59 | $2,990.74 | −$13.85 |
*Dominant strategy means that the technology provides better outcomes at lower costs.
CADe, Artificial intelligence computer-aided diagnosis in polyp detection; ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; LY, life years; QALY, quality-adjusted life years.
