Cost-effectiveness ratios usually appear as point estimates without confidence intervals, since the numerator and denominator are both stochastic and one cannot estimate the variance of the estimator exactly. The recent literature, however, stresses the importance of presenting confidence intervals
It is becoming increasingly more common for a randomized controlled trial of a new therapy to include a prospective economic evaluation. The advantage of such trial-based cost-effectiveness is that conventional principles of statistical inference can be used to quantify uncertainty in the estimate o
