Popis: QALY. RESULTS: Treating patients in Glucose Category 5 was the dominant strategy. Treatment was more expensive ($11,491.75 with treatment vs $10,734.42 without treatment) but more effective (56.914924 QALYs with treatment vs 56.897791 without treatment), with an incremental cost of $44203.00/QALY. In a one-way sensitivity of analysis of the degree of treatment efficacy, treatment remained cost-effective as long as it met 64% of its reported efficacy. CONCLUSION: Treating patients in Glucose Category 5 of the HAPO Trial is cost-effective in terms of improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. How the health care system will provide this expanded care to this group of women will need to be examined.
