Abstract
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is widely used as a tool for
prioritising health interventions, particularly in low-income and
middle-income settings. However, among the major limitations of CEA are
the omission of health-care seeking behaviour, heterogeneous mechanisms
across populations or regions that determine the delivery and quality of
health interventions, and the economic benefits of such interventions.
Extended CEA complements basic CEA and provides a basis for a
multicriteria decision-making approach that looks beyond health
measures, but is far less complex than a benefit–cost analysis.
