Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of the Optimal Control Strategies for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Transmission in Ethiopia

Table 5

The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the dual control strategies.

ICER	Decision
	—
	Strategy G is  less  costly  than  strategy E. Strategy E is  then  ignored,  and  the  analysis  continues  by comparing  strategy I with G
	—
	Strategy I is  cheaper  and  more  effective  than  strategy G and hence,  the analysis continues by comparing strategy I and strategy F
	—
	This comparison indicates that strategy F is cheaper than strategy I, and the analysis continues by comparing strategy F and strategy H
	—
	Strategy H is less costly and more effective than strategy F. As a result, strategy F is eliminated from subsequent ICER computations
	—
	Strategy H is less costly and more effective than strategy J
