Cost-effectiveness of workplace wellness to prevent cardiovascular events among U.S. firefighters

Results: A wellness-fitness program prevented 10% of CVEs, for an event rate of 0.9% at $1440 over 10-years, or an
incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $1.44 million per CVE prevented compared to no program. In one-way sensitivity
analyses, monitoring was favored if costs were < $116/year. In two-way sensitivity analyses, monitoring was not favored
if cost was ≥ $399/year. A wellness-fitness program was not favored if its preventive relative risk was >0.928.
