An Early-Stage Decision-Analytic Health Economic Model of Above Cuff Vocalization: What Do We Know and What Do We Need to Resolve?
Despite the substantial input required from speech-language pathologists-a typically scarce resource in ICU settings-ACV demonstrates strong potential for cost-effectiveness. There is no reason for decision-makers to de-adopt ACV, and delaying adoption may result in loss of opportunity costs. Improved reporting of mortality and utility data in critical care research would increase the reliability of early-stage DAMs.
