Modelling
14 questions found.CEA studies may be prospective studies or modelled studies
CEA studies may be prospective studies or modelled studies. Would economic evaluations be called “modelled studies” (clinical outcome is taken from systematic review and meta-analysis) rather than collecting primary data to measure clinical outcomes? If data for clinical outcome is collected, sh...
Sample size for economic evaluation
There are always concern for calculating power and sample size in economic evaluation, whether the number of samples is representative enough and the result could be generalized to the population. Is there any standard method for sample size calculation in economic evaluation? And whether the method...
Expected Value of Perfect Information
How useful really is Expected Value of Perfect Information as an additional analysis to support decision-making for the healthcare system? Are there settings/countries now who are conducting this as part of their standard analysis to complement the results of cost effectiveness analysis?
Using DALY in modelling
Hello there, I am Amanuel from Ethiopia. I am conducting a thesis paper in cost effectiveness of HIV testing modalities and assisting others in economic evaluation. In my work, we conduct our research using decision tree modelling and Markov modelling. How should DALY be used for decision tree model...
WHO threshold report for outcomes other than DALY
Hello there. I am conducting a thesis on CEA. my outcome report is in cost per HIV positive client identified. The WHO threshold recommend GDP per capita compared with cost per DALY averted. I saw one study report their finding in cost per positive client identified and compare it with the country'...

Plotting ICER result on cost-effectiveness plane and putting PSA in CEAC
Dear Expert, I have values for both the incremental cost and incremental DALY/QALY. How do I put them on cost-effectiveness plane or how do I plot them in graph, so that I get nice graph showing ICER result on cost-effectiveness plane? number 2: I have all the values from PSA. How do I put them in ...

How to transfer distribution of probability parameter from 5 years into 1 year
Dear Dr and Prof, I'm trying to find probability parameters for my model of chronic hepatitis B. However, most study I found come from observational studies, with different duration of follow-up . In my model, I need the probability and the parameters for beta distribution (alpha, beta). And I don'...

I am doing my master thesis on the model-based cost-effectiveness of cardiovascular risk screening program in Zambia. P: population in Zambia age 40 - 79 years old I: non-laboratory-based WHO CVD risk chart and laboratory-based WHO CVD risk chart C: no screening, comparison between non-laboratory-ba...
Population-derived CETs are generally under 1x GDP per capita (graph from the 1st presentation). Why doesn't CET have a floor of 1x GDP? Conceptually doesn't ICER per QALY = 1x GDP per capita equate the additional gain to the economic contribution of a living individual? (
Interesting that the population-derived CETs are generally under 1x GDP per capita (graph from the 1st presentation). Why doesn't CET have a floor of 1x GDP? Conceptually doesn't ICER per QALY = 1x GDP per capita equate the additional gain to the economic contribution of a living individual?
