Abstract
Costeffectiveness analyses can be performed with a decision tree that has one decision node at the root The branches of the initial decision node represent all of the strategies that are to be compared Embedded or downstream decision nodes are not useful in costeffectiveness analysis because the optimal branch cannot be determined when folding back the tree without an explicit decision rule for comparing costs andNo competing financial interests exist This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education of Science under grants TIN200611152 and TIN200909158 and by the Health Institute Carlos III of the Spanish Government under Grant PI13/02446
