This comes in an article for a medical journal which reports on research into the cost-effectiveness of using a particular technology in surgery:
Para el análisis de coste-efectividad se pueden utilizar tres tipos de indicadores:
La razón o ratio medio que se calcula dividiendo los costes generados por los resultados obtenidos.
Los ratios incrementales, que expresan los costes adicionales por unidad de efecto añadido generados al pasar de las opciones de mayores o menores costes a las más efectivas cuando se comparan alternativas de dos en dos. Su cálculo se realiza dividiendo la diferencia de sus costes entre la diferencia de sus efectos, debiendo de situar en primer lugar, tanto en el numerador como en el denominador, los datos de la opción que tenga mayores efectos al objeto de garantizar que el denominador tenga siempre signo positivo. Si el ratio incremental es negativo, deberemos entender que cada unidad de efecto añadido por la opción más efectiva respecto de la menos efectiva, no sólo no cuesta dinero, si no que es expresivo de los ahorros que se alcanzarían por cada tal unidad gracias al cambio de estrategia.
Is "added effect" a recognised term here? I can find a lot of references to it in a gaming field, but not in a medical research field. Added value is obviously a term, but doesn't quite have the right meaning here - and anyway would be valor anadido

oportunity cost
It is an economic issue, rather than a medical issue in my opinion.

unit value added
Added value and value added are not completely identical. But I agree with Leo that you should look up in economy, not in healthcare

Discussion
I'm sorry I don't have time this morning to look at your question in depth, but if you look in the field of "cost-effectiveness analysis"or cost-effectiveness studies (rather than medical research), you might have more luck.
