What criteria did NICE use to determine cost-effectiveness in Chronic Heart Failure?
NICE used two criteria to determine cost-effectiveness in Chronic Heart Failure. Firstly, they looked for interventions that ‘dominated’ other relevant strategies, in that they were both less costly in terms of resource use and more clinically effective compared with all other relevant alternative strategies. Secondly, they looked for interventions that cost less than £20,000 per QALY (quality-adjusted life year) gained compared with the next best strategy.
