Cost-Effectiveness Data Sources Whether you need an updated Internet link from the book or are a passerby looking for the data you need to conduct a CEA, this page contains the information you are looking for. This page lists the major sources of health data used in cost-effectiveness analysis by category. Data on the cost of medical goods and services. Data used to calculate ambulatory care, hospitalization, and mortality rates. Incidence and prevalence of diseases. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL). Sites that provide access to multiple
datasets.
Other sites: International Health Data (WHO) Site index Population Data (US Bureau of the Census)
Free software and tools for analyzing data: Open Office (contains a spreadsheet program, among others). Stuffit Expander (useful for compressed CMS files). We provide a free life table that you can download and format to your needs. It is set up so that you can enter risk ratios and HRQL scores. This alows you to calculate quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE) and to calculate differences in life expectancy when two or more interventions are applied. 2000 mortality data are used.
