佛蒙特州阿尼尔市最近几年，估计特定疾病、疾病和伤害的经济成本已成为公共和私人医疗决策者非常感兴趣的问题。在过去十年中，成本效益和成本效益分析在医学和非医学文献中的应用显著增加[8]，反映了医疗保健部门对成本上升的日益关注。随着1980年美国医疗服务支出估计接近2240亿美元[2]，医疗服务价格的增长率估计在10%或更高，政策制定者已经开始更认真地将预防疾病和伤害视为一种有吸引力的战略，不仅可以减少死亡率和发病率，还可以控制医疗成本。虽然改善健康结果曾经是医疗决策的底线，但考虑成本和有效性已成为评估医疗实践和治疗的一个重要维度。
ANI) ID) ANIEL, VV. TOL, 19 IN lEstimating the economic cost of specific diseases, illnesses, and injuries has bccome a matter of great interest to both public and private medical decision makers in recent years. Thc dramatic rise in applications of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses over the past ten years in both the medical and nonmedical literature [8] reflects the deepening concern over cost escalation in the health care sector. With US expenditures for health care services estimated to have approached $224 billion in 1980 [2] and the rate of increase in medical care prices estimated to be in the range of 10 percent or higher, policymakers have begun to look more seriously at prevention of illness and injury as an attractive strategy not only to reduce mortality and morbidity but also to contain health care costs. While improvements in health outcome used to be the bottom line in medical decision making, consideration of costs along with effec-tiveness has become an important dimension in evaluation of medi-cal practice and treatment.
