Cost-Benefit Analysis
An economic evaluation in which both costs and health outcomes are expressed in monetary terms.
Definition
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) monetises both the costs and the benefits of a healthcare intervention, enabling direct comparison of net benefits. Benefits are typically valued using willingness-to-pay methods (contingent valuation or revealed preference). CBA is more common in public economics than in healthcare HTA, where QALY-based CUA is the standard approach.
