title: Cost-effectiveness analysis of transplantation.
abstract: As organ transplantation has become increasingly effective, difficult questions have been raised about its costs. Cost-effectiveness analysis is one approach that permits relatively straightforward comparisons not only among transplant procedures but among other costly lifesaving therapies. When compared with other such procedures, most organ transplants are found to be cost effective.
