Abstract
A cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a type of health economics model that uses a systematic approach to simplify the complexities that exist in health-care decision-making. A CEA aids in medical decision-making by considering both the costs of a treatment and how effective that treatment is for at least 2 competing strategies. This article reviews major concepts of CEA including results interpretation, key attributes of CEA that make it differ from cost analysis, uncertainty surrounding analysis, and how/why CEA is an important contributor to the medical literature.
成本效益分析(CEA)是一种卫生经济学模型,它采用系统的方法来简化医疗决策中存在的复杂问题。成本效益分析通过同时考虑一种治疗方法的成本和该治疗方法在至少两种竞争策略中的效果来帮助医疗决策。本文回顾了 CEA 的主要概念,包括结果解释、CEA 不同于成本分析的关键属性、分析的不确定性以及 CEA 如何/为何成为医学文献的重要贡献者。
