Table 1 Cost-Utility Example
From: Problems and solutions in calculating quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)
TREATMENT | COST | OUTCOMES (QALYs*) |
|---|---|---|
A | $1500 | 3.6 |
B | $1000 | 1 |
Increment (of A over B) | $500 | 2.6 |
Incremental cost/Incremental Outcome | $500 / 2.6 QALYs = $192.31 per QALY gained | |
