- Authors
Yock Young Dan; Seng Gee Lim
- Abstract
The article reflects the opinion of the author on the significance of cost-effectiveness analysis in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. The author stressed that cost effectiveness analysis in the treatment of the disease has an inherent problem since complications and endpoints happen after a long span of time. The author further added that the lack of real-life longitudinal data on the natural history of disease progression led to unproven assumption on the life expectancy of the disease
