data shows that the average figure -- $129,090 per additional year
of quality life -- is higher than prior studies have shown. Perhaps
more important, the study also puts a value on the cost-effectiveness
of treatment across percentiles of the entire dialysis population
in an attempt to develop a benchmark for health care coverage decisions." Read
