Table 4:
Incremental Cost Effectiveness
| Base Case, cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) using intervention replication cost, total medical care cost | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Incremental cost | QALY | Incremental QALY | ICER | |
| Control group | $25,506 | 0.5459 | |||
| Treatment group | $23,665 | −1841 | 0.5695 | 0.0236 | Intervention Dominant |
| Cost-effectiveness plane quadrant results: SE 80%; NW 0%; NE 20%; SW 0% | |||||
Dominant means the intervention had lower costs and greater effect
Supplemental analysis difference from base-case shown in italics
Cost-effectiveness plane quadrant results legend:
SE=intervention was less costly and more effective; always cost-effective
NW=intervention was more costly and less effective; never cost-effective
NE=intervention was more costly and more effective; cost-effective depending on willingness-to-pay for a unit of effectiveness
SW=intervention was less costly and less effective; cost-effective depending on willingness-to-pay for a unit of effectiveness
All analyses adjusted for baseline cost and baseline outcome measure
