Abstract

There is considerable structural uncertainty associated with the choice of outcome for modelling the cost effectiveness of AMD treatments. Bevacizumab has a higher incremental QALY gain and more favourable incremental cost-effectiveness ratio when cost effectiveness is assessed using contrast sensitivity outcomes compared with using visual acuity outcomes. Previous cost-effectiveness analyses may have underestimated the cost effectiveness of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. Copyright The Author(s) 2014
