Abstract

Selene Tarone

Pharmacological interventions play a crucial role in healthcare, providing effective treatments for various medical conditions. However, in an era of limited resources, it is essential to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of these interventions to ensure optimal allocation of healthcare funds. This article explores the methodological considerations involved in assessing the cost-effectiveness of pharmacological interventions, including the choice of study perspective, modeling techniques, data sources, and key parameters. By employing rigorous and standardized methodologies, researchers and decision-makers can make informed decisions about the value of pharmacological interventions and promote the efficient use of healthcare resources.
