Reporting and interpreting results of economic evaluation

Abstract This chapter explains some of the important considerations for reporting and interpreting the results of economic evaluations. Once a model has been developed, and populated with parameter information, an investigator should be prepared to understand what the results are telling them about value from the perspective of the key stakeholders. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, budget impacts, and return on investment results are all key statistics that one should be able to know and interpret to make recommendations about vaccine value. Furthermore, there are several data visualization techniques that can go along with these statistics to make the results clearer to decision makers about value.
