welcomes you to the new, improved website!The authors examined cost-effectiveness in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), examining incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) associated with low dose CT screening. The ICER was $52,000 per life-year gained and the $81,000 per QALY gained. These values were very sensitive to variations in the screening algorithms.
