title: A note on cost-value analysis.
abstract: We discuss 'cost-value analysis', a method for health care resource allocation suggested by Nord et al. (Nord E et al. Incorporating societal concerns for fairness in numerical valuations of health programmes. Health Econ 1999; 8: 25-39). Some difficulties and issues for future research are pointed out.
