Measuring the cost of treatment involves several methods:
1. Cost-of-Illness (COI) Studies: These studies estimate the total economic burden of a disease by summing direct and indirect costs. 2. Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA): This method compares the relative costs and outcomes of different interventions. 3. Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA): This approach evaluates the economic value of interventions by comparing costs with the monetary benefits.
