Estimating production costs in the economic evaluation of health‐care programs
提出一种考虑生产努力差异的成本计算方法，用于医疗技术、药品或公共健康干预的成本效益分析，并以新生儿听力筛查为例验证其有效性。
We propose a method for calculating the production costs of an intervention in a manner that accounts for differences in productive 'effort.' This method could be used within a cost-effectiveness analysis framework in the evaluation of new medical technologies, pharmaceuticals, treatment programs, or public health interventions. We apply it to show evidence in favor of implementing a newborn screening program to detect congenital hearing impairment.
