Surveillance in patients with long-segment Barrett's oesophagus: a cost-effectiveness analysis

Conclusions
Based on a Dutch healthcare perspective and assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of 35.000 per QALY, surveillance with EMR and RFA for HGD or early OAC, and oesophagectomy for advanced OAC is cost-effective every 5 years for ND and every 3 years for LGD.
