Background And Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a multifaceted quality improvement intervention for stroke care in China, the world’s largest low- and middle-income country.
Method
A short-term decision tree model and a long-term Markov model were used to analyze the cost-effectiveness of a multifaceted quality improvement intervention for patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Conclusion
A multifaceted quality improvement intervention for stroke care was highly cost-effective in China.
Main results
In the long-term, the intervention yielded a lifetime gain of 0.246 quality-adjusted life-years at an additional cost of Chinese Yuan Renminbi 1510 (US $230), resulting in a cost of Chinese Yuan Renminbi 6138 (US $940) per quality-adjusted life-year gained.
