Abstract:
Cost-effectiveness analysis has become increasingly important in all areas of medicine. This article provides an overview of cost-effectiveness analysis, the limitations of cost-effectiveness analyses in the current anatomic pathology literature, and the benefits of performing cost-effectiveness analysis. The standards of good cost-effectiveness studies and a detailed evaluation of an anatomic pathology cost-effectiveness article are also discussed.
