Cost-Effectiveness of Screening for Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerotic Disease Stroke 27:1944-1950, Derdeyn,C.P.&Powers,W.J., 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A one-time screening program of a population with a high prevalence(20%) of>60%stenosis cost$45130 per incremental QALY gained.Decreased surgical benefit or increased annual discount rate was detrimental,resulting in lost QALYs.Annual screening cost$457773 per incremental QALY gained.In a low-prevalence(4%)population,one-time screening cost$52588 per QALY gained,while annual screening was detrimental.The cost-effectiveness of a one-time screening program for an asymptomatic population with a high prevalence of carotid stenosis may be cost-effective.Annual screening is detrimental.The most sensitive variables in this simulation model were long-term stroke risk reduction after surgery and annual discount rate for accumulated cost and QALYs.
