Healthcare expenditure is continually increasing and projected to accelerate in the future, with an increasing proportion being spent on interventional radiology. The role of cost effectiveness studies in ensuring the best allocation of resources is discussed, and the role of National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in determining this. Issues with demonstrating cost effectiveness have been discussed, and it has been found that there is significant scope for improving cost effectiveness, with suggestions made for how this can be achieved. In this way, more patients can benefit from better treatment given limited healthcare budgets.
医疗保健支出持续增长，并预计未来将加速增长，其中越来越多的支出用于介入放射学。本文讨论了成本效益研究在确保资源最佳配置方面的作用，以及英国国家卫生与临床优化研究所（NICE）在确定这一作用方面的作用。本文还讨论了在证明成本效益方面存在的问题，发现有很大的空间可以提高成本效益，并提出了如何实现这一目标的建议。通过这种方式，在有限的医疗保健预算下，可以让更多的患者从更好的治疗中受益。
