Which type measures outcomes in natural units such as treatment responders or disability days avoided?
Correct Answer:
Cost-effectiveness analysis
Explanation:
Outcomes in natural units are the hallmark of cost-effectiveness analysis. It reports the cost per unit of effect, such as cost per treatment responder or cost per disability day avoided. This contrasts with cost-benefit analysis, which converts effects into monetary terms to yield a net benefit, and cost-utility analysis, which uses utility-adjusted measures like QALYs. Cost-consequence analysis presents costs and multiple outcomes separately without combining them into a single ratio. So when the focus is on measuring outcomes in natural units like responders or days avoided, cost-effectiveness analysis is the best fit.
