Recently, a number of papers have brought up the issue of how to make cost-effectiveness (CE) studies stochastic, i.e. how to obtain confidence intervals for CE ratios. In this note we present a bootstrap procedure for estimating bias-corrected confidence intervals for CE ratios. The bootstrap proce
We evaluated four methods for computing confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios developed from randomized controlled trials: the box method, the Taylor series method, the nonparametric bootstrap method and the Fieller theorem method. We performed a Monte Carlo experiment to compare these
The statistic of interest in most health economic evaluations is the incremental cost-e!ectiveness ratio. Since the variance of a ratio estimator is intractable, the health economics literature has suggested a number of alternative approaches to estimating con"dence intervals for the cost-e!ectivene
The statistic of interest in the economic evaluation of health care interventions is the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER), which is defined as the difference in cost between two treatment interventions over the difference in their effect. Where patient-specific data on costs and health ou
