Cost-Utility Example: QALYs revisited
| TREATMENT | COST | OUTCOMES (QALYs*) |
| A | $1500 | 3.81 |
| B | $1000 | 1.58 |
| Increment (of A over B) | $500 | 2.23 |
| Incremental cost/Incremental Outcome | $500 / 2.23 QALYs = $224.22 per QALY gained | |
*(3.81 QALYs = 4 years × 0.9 Units of Utility); (1.58 QALYs = 2 years × 0.5 Units of Utility)
