摘要: PURPOSE: To determine the most cost-effective colorectal cancer screening strategy costing less than $100,000 per life-year saved and to how available strategies compare with each other. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Standardized methods were used calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) from published estimates of cost effectiveness strategies, direction magnitude any effect on ratio parameter estimate adjustments based literature values estimated. RESULTS: Strategies in which double-contrast barium enema examination was performed emerged as optimal all studies included. In average-risk individuals, every 3 years, or 5 years annual fecal occult blood testing, had an ICER $55,600 saved. However, plus testing more than...
