:Slovak term: [[Slovenský termín]]
# A form of economic evaluation where all the costs are expressed in money terms but where some of the effects are expressed in physical units (e.g. in the context of health care programmes : life-years gained, cases detected) (WHO et al. 1996).
# See also : [[Economic evaluation|economic evaluation]]

==Explanation==
Cost-effectiveness analysis is normally used to compare different ways of achieving the
same objective (e.g. life saving) and assumes the objective is worth achieving. If two
programmes have effects that are identical in all respects, the analysis is sometimes called
a cost minimization analysis. If effects are measured in quality-adjusted life-years or
"utilities", the analysis is sometimes called cost-utility analysis. Since the 1993 World Bank
report "Investing in Health" the Disability-adjusted Life-Year (DALY) has gained in
importance as an effectiveness indicator (WHO 2009).
