Costs and consequences of stem cell transplantation in children Journal Articles

abstract

• Abstract:Economic evaluation is a comparison of the costs and consequences of alternative healthcare interventions. Consequences are best assessed as utilities; quality‐adjusted measures of effectiveness. Although few substantive data are available, it appears that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is even more cost‐effective in children than in adults.
