The Impact of Including Passive Benefits in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: The Case of Automated External Defibrillators on Commercial Aircraft

Cram, Peter; Vijan, Sandeep; Wolbrink, Alex; Fendrick, … - 2003

Objective: Traditional cost–utility analysis assumes that all benefits from health-related interventions are captured by the quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained by the few individuals whose outcome is improved by the intervention. However, it is possible that many individuals who do not...
