Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a description of the process of health economic evaluation and modelling for cost-effectiveness analysis, particularly from the perspective of a Bayesian statistical approach. Some relevant theory and introductory concepts are presented using practical examples and two running case studies. The book also describes in detail how to perform health economic evaluations using the R package BCEA (Bayesian Cost-Effectiveness Analysis). BCEA can be used to post-process the results of a Bayesian cost-effectiveness model and perform advanced analyses producing standardised and highly customisable outputs. It presents all the features of the package, including its many functions and their practical application, as well as its user-friendly web interface. The book is a valuable resource for statisticians and practitioners working in the field of health economics wanting to simplify and standardise their workflow, for example in the preparation of dossiers in support of marketing authorisation, or academic and scientific publications.

Download or read book Decision Modelling for Health Economic Evaluation written by Andrew Briggs and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In financially constrained health systems across the world, increasing emphasis is being placed on the ability to demonstrate that health care interventions are not only effective, but also cost-effective. This book deals with decision modelling techniques that can be used to estimate the value for money of various interventions including medical devices, surgical procedures, diagnostic technologies, and pharmaceuticals. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of the appropriate representation of uncertainty in the evaluative process and the implication this uncertainty has for decision making and the need for future research. This highly practical guide takes the reader through the key principles and approaches of modelling techniques. It begins with the basics of constructing different forms of the model, the population of the model with input parameter estimates, analysis of the results, and progression to the holistic view of models as a valuable tool for informing future research exercises. Case studies and exercises are supported with online templates and solutions. This book will help analysts understand the contribution of decision-analytic modelling to the evaluation of health care programmes. ABOUT THE SERIES: Economic evaluation of health interventions is a growing specialist field, and this series of practical handbooks will tackle, in-depth, topics superficially addressed in more general health economics books. Each volume will include illustrative material, case histories and worked examples to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed, with supporting material provided online. This series is aimed at health economists in academia, the pharmaceutical industry and the health sector, those on advanced health economics courses, and health researchers in associated fields.

Download or read book Cost Effectiveness Modelling for Health Technology Assessment written by Richard Edlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to decision analytic cost-effectiveness modelling, giving the theoretical and practical knowledge required to design and implement analyses that meet the methodological standards of health technology assessment organisations. The book guides you through building a decision tree and Markov model and, importantly, shows how the results of cost-effectiveness analyses are interpreted. Given the complex nature of cost-effectiveness modelling and the often unfamiliar language that runs alongside it, we wanted to make this book as accessible as possible whilst still providing a comprehensive, in-depth, practical guide that reflects the state of the art – that includes the most recent developments in cost-effectiveness modelling. Although the nature of cost effectiveness modelling means that some parts are inevitably quite technical, across the 13 chapters we have broken down explanations of theory and methods into bite-sized pieces that you can work through at your own pace; we have provided explanations of terms and methods as we use them. Importantly, the exercises and online workbooks allow you to test your skills and understanding as you go along.

This book was released on 2010-07-24 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in Bayesian analysis and statistical decision theory is rapidly expanding and diversifying, making it increasingly more difficult for any single researcher to stay up to date on all current research frontiers. This book provides a review of current research challenges and opportunities. While the book can not exhaustively cover all current research areas, it does include some exemplary discussion of most research frontiers. Topics include objective Bayesian inference, shrinkage estimation and other decision based estimation, model selection and testing, nonparametric Bayes, the interface of Bayesian and frequentist inference, data mining and machine learning, methods for categorical and spatio-temporal data analysis and posterior simulation methods. Several major application areas are covered: computer models, Bayesian clinical trial design, epidemiology, phylogenetics, bioinformatics, climate modeling and applications in political science, finance and marketing. As a review of current research in Bayesian analysis the book presents a balance between theory and applications. The lack of a clear demarcation between theoretical and applied research is a reflection of the highly interdisciplinary and often applied nature of research in Bayesian statistics. The book is intended as an update for researchers in Bayesian statistics, including non-statisticians who make use of Bayesian inference to address substantive research questions in other fields. It would also be useful for graduate students and research scholars in statistics or biostatistics who wish to acquaint themselves with current research frontiers.

Download or read book Bayesian Modelling of Positively Skewed Data with Particular Application to the Cost Aspect of Medical Cost-effectiveness Analysis written by Peter Leonard Gregory and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivation for this research was the study of a medical cost data set from a clinical trial. If a Regulatory Body were to be accept the new intervention that has been proposed then a Health Care provider has to budget for future treatments for some members of the rest of the population. In this Bayesian analysis we want to be able to calculate the expected value for one unobserved member of this finite population from its posterior predictive distribution by firstly establishing the parametric data model that best captures the positive skew characteristics of the costs. We then develop a novel approach to modelling the priors that enable an expert's prior beliefs to be elicited while permitting a limited analytical study of the model. These techniques have been applied to recent medical data sets to establish their comparative efficiency when compared with classical estimators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Decision Making provides clinicians with a powerful framework for helping patients make decisions that increase the likelihood that they will have the outcomes that are most consistent with their preferences. This new edition provides a thorough understanding of the key decision making infrastructure of clinical practice and explains the principles of medical decision making both for individual patients and the wider health care arena. It shows how to make the best clinical decisions based on the available evidence and how to use clinical guidelines and decision support systems in electronic medical records to shape practice guidelines and policies. Medical Decision Making is a valuable resource for all experienced and learning clinicians who wish to fully understand and apply decision modelling, enhance their practice and improve patient outcomes. “There is little doubt that in the future many clinical analyses will be based on the methods described in Medical Decision Making, and the book provides a basis for a critical appraisal of such policies.” - Jerome P. Kassirer M.D., Distinguished Professor, Tufts University School of Medicine, US and Visiting Professor, Stanford Medical School, US

Download or read book Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials written by Henry A. Glick and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-10-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is becoming increasingly important to examine the relationship between the outcomes of a clinical trial and the costs of the medical therapy under study. The results of such analysis can affect reimbursement decisions for new medical technologies, drugs, devices or diagnostics. It can aid companies seeking to make claims about the cost-effectiveness of their product, as well as allowing early consideration of the economic value of therapies which may be important to improving initial adoption decisions. It is also vital for addressing the requirements of regulatory bodies. Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials provides practical advice on how to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses in controlled trials of medical therapies. This new edition has been extensively rewritten and revised; topics discussed range from design issues such as the types of services that should be measured and price weights, to assessment of quality-adjusted life years. Illustrative materials, case histories and worked examples are included to encourage the reader to apply the methods discussed. These exercises are supported with datasets, programmes and solutions made available online.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, agent-based modelling (ABM) has been increasingly used to elucidate complex adaptive systems. An ABM is a structural computational system that consists of a collection of abstract objects (agents) embedded in a virtual environment that interact based on a set of prescribed rules. While traditional approaches such as differential equation-based compartmental models span a vast literature, they often impose restrictive assumptions such as homogeneity and determinism that limit their application to real settings. ABM overcomes these limitations through a bottom-up approach in which macro dynamics emerge from micro level phenomena. During the past decade, there has been a surge of interest in the use of ABM in human health and disease dynamics. While this is rapidly growing, its application to other relevant areas such as health economics is still in infancy, and frameworks that could systematically apply ABM are still lacking. In this thesis, we develop a general framework for cost-effectiveness analysis in which ABM is designed to project the system dynamics. We argue that ABM improves the empirical reliability of policy-oriented simulation models and that it presents an ideal tool to address the complexity of disease processes, project the impact of interventions and inform their optimal implementation. We use this framework in an epidemiological context to quantify the economic impact of vaccination strategies for prevention of infectious diseases. We present two case studies for a human-to-human infection transmission (i.e., Haemophilus influenzae) and a vector-borne disease (i.e., Zika). In each case, we detail the construction of ABM and its utilization to conduct Bayesian cost-effectiveness analysis of potential vaccine candidates. In addition to uncovering important characteristics of these diseases in epidemic dynamics, we present their first cost-effectiveness analysis and implications for vaccination strategies in different populations settings.
