Abstract
Decisions about the use of new medical technologies based on estimates of the average cost-effectiveness across a potentially heterogeneous population runs the risk of foregoing net health benefits(NHB) for sub-groups of the population. We propose a general framework within which to assess between-patient heterogeneity and its role in cost-effectiveness subgroup analysis(CESA), complementing this with a practical application.
