Health economics framework | Outcome measure | Perspective | Format for presenting results |
Cost-utility analysis (CUA) | EQ-5D | Health and personal social services | Incremental cost/QALY |
Cost-capability well-being analysis | ICECAP-O | Health and personal social services | Incremental cost/year in full capability |
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) | Sitting time | Health and personal social services | Incremental cost/unit of reduction in sitting time |
Physical activity | Health and personal social services | Incremental cost /10% of daily step count increase | |
+ utility measures used in the CUA, as above | |||
Cost consequence analysis (CCA) | Incremental cost of the SMS+ERS intervention versus comparator, to be compared with the change in secondary outcome (eg, physical function, muscle function, anxiety, disability fear of falling) | Societal | Cost/change in multiple outcomes, for example, change in physical function; change in muscle function; change in QALY/years in full capability; change in daily step counts |
+ utility measures used in the CUA and effectiveness measures used in the CEA, as above |
ERS, exercise referral scheme; ICECAP-O, ICEpop Capability Measure for Older People; QALY, quality-adjusted life-years; SMS, self-management strategies.
