  7. Economic aspects The guideline takes into account both clinical and cost effectiveness when making recommendations involving a choice between alternative interventions. A review of the economic evidence was conducted when considered appropriate by the GDG. The preferred unit of effectiveness is the quality-adjusted life year (QALY), and the costs considered will usually only be from an NHS and personal social services (PSS) perspective.
