The development of clinical diagnostic procedures comprises early-phase and late-phase studies to elucidate diagnostic accuracy and patient outcome. Economic assessments of new diagnostic procedures compared with established work-ups indicate additional cost for 1 additional unit of effectiveness measure by means of incremental cost-effectiveness ratios when considering the replacement of the standard regimen by a new diagnostic procedure. This article discusses economic assessments of PET and PET/computed tomography reported until mid-July 2014. Forty-seven studies on cancer and noncancer indications were identified but, because of the widely varying scope of the analyses, a substantial amount of work remains to be done.
临床诊断程序的开发包括早期和晚期研究,以阐明诊断准确性和患者预后。与既定检查方法相比,新诊断程序的经济评估表明,在考虑用新诊断程序替代标准方案时,通过增量成本效益比,每增加1个单位的有效性指标会产生额外成本。本文讨论了截至2014年7月中旬报道的正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和PET/计算机断层扫描的经济评估。共确定了47项关于癌症和非癌症适应症的研究,但由于分析范围差异很大,仍有大量工作有待完成。
