Trends in Economic Evaluation

Depending on how health outcomes are measured and reported, economic evaluations are typically classified as a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), cost-utility analysis (CUA), cost-benefit analysis (CBA), or cost-minimization analysis (CMA).

Of the economic evaluations included in PEDE 56% are CEAs, 36% CUAs, 5% CBAs, and 2% CMAs.

There have been marked changes in the types of analytical techniques used over time.
