Screening strategy | Cost per patient, $ | Incremental cost per patient, $ | Effectiveness | Incremental effectiveness | Cost-effectiveness | ICER, $ | Dominance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cost per case detected (true positive) | |||||||
In-person examination (primary care) | 43.98 | 0.086 | 510.00 | Undominated | |||
Introduction of TO | 49.22 | 5.24 | 0.103 | 0.017 | 478.30 | 314.10 | Undominated |
Cost per case correctly diagnosed | |||||||
In-person examination (primary care) | 43.98 | 0.411 | 107.00 | Undominated | |||
Introduction of TO | 49.22 | 5.24 | 0.482 | 0.071 | 102.00 | 73.24 | Undominated |
Note: ICER = incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, TO = teleophthalmology.
