An economic evaluation of energy-absorbing flooring designed to preven
t hip fractures revealed a payback period of 10 1/2 years if only dire
ct costs avoided were evaluated and just over II months when direct an
d indirect costs were included. Cost-effectiveness ratios of less than
$0 per hip fracture prevented and life year saved were also estimated
.
