That is the explanation of why cost–utility analysis is the preferred method for evaluation of economic issues in health [19, 21]. For example, in low-risk newborns with intergluteal dimple suspected of having occult spinal dysraphism, ultrasound was the most effective strategy with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $55,100 per QALY. In intermediate-risk newborns with low anorectal malformation, however, MRI was more effective than ultrasound at an incremental cost-effectiveness of $1,000 per QALY [27].
