Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of caesarean deliveries by providers' teams, district hospitals, Burkina Faso, 2006

Providers (Surgical teams led by...)	Total costs of surgical team	Cost per c-section, CFA	Newborns CFR (/1000 c-sections)
Obstetricians (O)	8 577 736	92 858	99
Trained doctors (D)	3 466 938	37 531	125
Clinical officers (CO)	3 222 433	34 884	198
Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) = incremental cost of performing 1000 c-sections/incremental gain of newborns' lives per 1000 c-sections
ICER from (D) to (O) = (92.858 mi-37.531 mi)/(125-99)			2 127 962
ICER from (CO) to (O) = (92.858 mi-34.884 mi)/(198-99)			585 596
ICER from (CO) to (D) = (37.531 mi-34.884 mi)/(198-125)			36 260
