DataWeb Portal 2020Global Health Cost Effectiveness Analysis (GHCEA) Registry
The Global Health Cost Effectiveness Analysis (GHCEA) Registry is the first comprehensive database to compile …
The Global Health Cost Effectiveness Analysis (GHCEA) Registry is the first comprehensive database to compile articles utilizing the “cost-per-DALY averted” metric to measure the efficacy of health interventions. The Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health (CEVR) created this systematic summary of articles, organized by article, ratios, and disability weights. The registry is accessible through three different tables organized by (1) article, (2) ratio, and (3) disability weight. The GHCEA is funded…

ReviewPublication 2016Cost-Effectiveness Studies Reporting Cost-per-DALY Averted
This is a systematic review of cost-effectiveness studies reporting cost-per-DALY averted from 2000 through 2015 …
This is a systematic review of cost-effectiveness studies reporting cost-per-DALY averted from 2000 through 2015 conducted using the Global Health Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (GHCEA) Registry. Authors summarized descriptive characteristics on study methodology. They analyzed a) the types of costs included, b) study quality and c) the correlation between diseases researched and the burden of disease in different world regions. 479 cost-per-DALY averted studies were published from 2000 through 2015, with studies from Sub-Saharan Africa representing the largest portion…

This chapter summarizes the findings of a systematic search of the cost-effectiveness literature on interventions …
This chapter summarizes the findings of a systematic search of the cost-effectiveness literature on interventions to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health. Interventions for newborn health, treatment of febrile illness, immunization against preventable diseases, and micronutrient interventions remain among the most cost-effective and affordable. Other studies explore how to provide existing interventions using new platforms to increase outreach or decrease cost per person covered, or both. Interventions provided in the community may achieve both purposes to…

ReviewPublication 2011Dynamic Microsimulation Models for Health Outcomes: A Review
This review article presents an overview of microsimulation modeling, focusing on the development and application …
This review article presents an overview of microsimulation modeling, focusing on the development and application of these models for health policy questions. Microsimulation models for health outcomes simulate individual event histories associated with key components of a disease process; these simulated life histories can be aggregated to estimate population-level effects of treatment on disease outcomes and the comparative effectiveness of treatments. The authors argue that methodological improvements in modeling approaches have been slowed by the…

ReviewPublication 2006Ethical Issues in Resource Allocation, Research, and New Product Development
Ethical dilemmas arising in setting priorities among interventions and among individuals in need of care …
Ethical dilemmas arising in setting priorities among interventions and among individuals in need of care are most acute when needs are great and resources few. This chapter from the Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries 2nd edition addresses some of these concerns, identifying some of the principal ethical issues that arise in the development and allocation of effective interventions for developing countries and discussing some alternative resolutions. Resource allocation in health and elsewhere should satisfy two main…
