Heart transplantation in the Netherlands; costs, effects and scenarios
Article Abstract:
An economic examination of the heart transplantation program in the Netherlands is presented, with comparisons made on the basis of cost-effectiveness of the program and of alternatives. It is estimated that the cost/year of life gained is Netherlands Guilders 57,650. Only a few years of evidence is now available, however, so that uncertainty exists about future developments. Availability of donor organs is seen as a major factor. Experience in the Netherlands indicates that although arguments of efficiency can be of considerable weight in the making of health policy, they may not always play the leading role.
