Abstract

Health systems around the globe use cost-effectiveness analysis to support health funding decisions. Cost-effectiveness analysis compares benefits associated with new technologies with benefits necessarily forsaken when resources are displaced to pay for the new technologies. Systems aiming to improve the health of their populations but facing a budget constraint should use cost-effectiveness thresholds (CETs) that reflect the health opportunity costs of funding decisions.

In their Article (June, 2023), Andres Pichon-Riviere and colleagues derive CETs based on aspirational targets on the growth in life expectancy and on the growth in health expenditure...
