What is the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER)?
- The ratio of the difference in costs between two interventions to the difference in their effects
- The ratio of the difference in effects between two interventions to the difference in their costs
- The ratio of the cost of an intervention to its effect
- The ratio of the effect of an intervention to its cost
What is the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold?
