AB Critical  care  is  expensive  for  patients,  hospitals,  and  society.Both  overall  health  care  expenditures  and  the  proportion  dedicated  to  critical  care  are  increasing.Cost-effectiveness  studies  are  an  important  component  of  critical  care  valuation,  both  for  new  and  existing  therapies.Market  forces  alone  cannot  be  expected  to  result  in  optimal  public  health—policies  informed  by  cost-effectiveness  contribute  to  improve  critical  care  delivery  and  efficiency.
