A computer simulation model shows that the cost-effectiveness of treating hypertension is highly sensitive to different assumptions about the effectiveness of treatment, the outcome measure, the cost concept, the discounting of effects, and the duration of therapy. Cost-effectiveness analysis should be supplemented by another approach--cost-benefit analysis based on the contingent valuation (CV) method (the measurement, by survey, of willingness to pay). The CV method is tested in two empirical applications that indicate that it is possible to use the method in this area. Its results should be interpreted with caution, however, since the reliability and validity of the method is not yet established.
一个计算机模拟模型显示，治疗高血压的成本效益对有关治疗效果、结果指标、成本概念、效果贴现以及治疗持续时间的不同假设高度敏感。成本效益分析应以另一种方法——基于条件估值（CV）法（通过调查测量支付意愿）的成本效益分析作为补充。CV法在两个实证应用中得到了检验，这表明在该领域使用该方法是可行的。然而，其结果的解释应谨慎，因为该方法的可靠性和有效性尚未确立。
