Cost-Minimisation Analysis
An economic evaluation that compares costs when two interventions have been shown to produce equivalent health outcomes.
Definition
Cost-minimisation analysis (CMA) is appropriate only when two interventions have been demonstrated to produce equivalent outcomes. In that case, the analysis reduces to identifying the lower-cost option. CMA is rarely appropriate in practice, as true equivalence of outcomes is difficult to establish, and small differences in outcomes may matter at a population level.
