From: Economic evaluation of type 2 diabetes prevention programmes: Markov model of low- and high-intensity lifestyle programmes and metformin in participants with different categories of intermediate hyperglycaemia

Method of identifying participants

Intervention

Incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER)

(relative to next best intervention)

Cost effectiveness ratio (CER)

(relative to no intervention)

ICER (£/QALY)

Probability ICER < £20,000/QALY

Cost vs no intervention (£, 2015)

Effect vs no intervention (QALYs)

CER (£/QALY)

Probability CER < £20,000/QALY
