Better Evidence for Intervention Priority Setting Around the World (Supplement to IHME Global Public Goods: Global Burden of Disease, Forecasting, and Resource Tracking)

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) is a well-known, but resource intensive, method for comparing the costs and health outcomes of health interventions. To build on available evidence, researchers are developing methods to transfer CEA across settings; previous methods do not use all available results nor quantify differences across settings. We conducting meta-regression analyses of published CEAs in the Tufts University CEA registries to quantify the effects of factors at the method, intervention, and county-level, and generate estimates of incremental CE ratios (ICERs) for multiple interventions in 195 countries.
