Conducting a CMA involves the following steps: 1. Define the Scope: Clearly define the scope of the analysis, including the perspective (e.g., societal, healthcare provider) and the time horizon. 2. Collect Cost Data: Gather detailed cost data for each intervention. This includes costs related to treatment, hospitalization, medication, and any other relevant expenses. 3. Compare Costs: After ensuring the equivalence of outcomes, compare the total costs of each intervention to identify the least costly option.
