How many AEDs in which region? An economic decision model for the Austrian Red Cross

Article Abstract:

An innovative model is combined with an integer programming model to analyse the cost effectiveness of semi-automated early defibrillators (AEDs) for the Austrian Red Cross. The findings indicate that AED programmes produced cost-effectiveness ratios of less than 55,000 Euro per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) over a wide range of assumptions regarding uncertain parameters.
