Abstract:
The primary objective of this final degree project is to analyze the cost-effectiveness of lung transplantation at the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital, located in Santander. To this end, a cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the perspective of the Spanish public healthcare system, using a three-year time horizon. Costs were estimated based on official sources, and effectiveness was measured in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). The reference condition used for comparison is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
