Abstract:
Economic evaluation is a comparison of the costs and consequences of alternative healthcare interventions. Consequences are best assessed as utilities; quality-adjusted measures of effectiveness. Although few substantive data are available, it appears that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is even more cost-effective in children than in adults.
