Development of a new cost-effectiveness model

This chapter provides a detailed description of the modelling approach, the estimation of input parameters used to populate the model and the key assumptions underpinning the cost-effectiveness results. The results from the economic model are presented in two sections. In the first section, the results of the economic model are presented. In the second section, results from a VOI analysis, which can be used to aid decisions about the direction of further research, are presented (see Chapter 5, Summary). The chapter concludes with a summary of the results for all comparators and of the factors deemed to be most critical in affecting the cost-effectiveness of different surgical treatments for SUI and stress-predominant MUI.
