The Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry was developed by the Center for the Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health at the Institute for Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA. The Registry contains detailed information on over 2,800 cost-utility analyses published through 2010. Health-related CEAs estimate the resources used (costs) and the health benefits achieved (effects) for an intervention compared to an alternative treatment strategy. The Registry focuses on a subset of CEAs, called cost-utility analyses (CUAs) that quantify health benefits in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), a metric that accounts for changes in both longevity and quality of life.
