A COMPLETE UPDATE AND REVISION OF THE CLASSIC TEXT "At last, a manual of operations for comparing the cost-effectiveness of a preventive service with a treatment intervention." -- American Journal of Preventive Medicine Twenty years after the first edition of COST-EFFECTIVENESS IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE established the practical benchmark for cost-effectiveness analysis, this completely revised edition of the classic text provides an essential resource to a new generation of practitioners, students, researchers, and policymakers. Produced by the Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine--a team of 13 experts from fields including decision science, economics, ethics, psychology, and medicine--this new edition is a comprehensive guide to the use of cost-effectiveness analysis as an evaluative tool at the institutional and policy levels. As health care systems face increasing pressure to derive maximum value from expenditures, the guidelines in this new text represent not just the best information available, but a vital guide to health care decision-making in a challenging new era. Completely revised and enriched with examples and expanded coverage, this second edition of COST-EFFECTIVENESS IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE builds on its predecessor's excellence, offering required reading for both analysts and decision makers. Review: Must-have reference for every health economist - This updated edition has quickly replaced the original 1996 "Gold Book" as my main cost-effectiveness analysis methods reference. It explains twice the content and fills in holes where best research practices have changed over the last 20 years. While drafting papers for publication, I keep flipping back to the incredibly helpful appendix to compare how the experts prepared the tables and figures in the worked example analyses. All health economists should have a copy of this on the shelf. As the book says, "standardized components...enhance consistency and comparability across our studies." Review: good book - I don't think the product was "new" as sold. It was not wrapped like a new textbook usually comes, and there was a oily smudge mark on the cover as well as dirt over the white page side. dissapointing

Unimpressed. Much of what is written is baseless and poorly informed.

Ótima referência para conceito de custo-efetividade
Excelente fonte para entendimento dos conceitos acerca dos estudos de custo-efetividade em saúde. Para não iniciados no assunto, acrescenta bastante! Somente seria leitura mais agradável do que já é, se os momentos históricos descritos fossem mais concisos. São um pouco repetitivos e extensos.
