Modeling rheumatoid arthritis using different techniques - a review of model construction and results

Health Economics Review, 2014, vol. 4, issue 1, 1-16

Abstract: Given a sufficient data supply, DES is the modeling technique of choice when modeling cost-effectiveness in RA. Otherwise transparency on the data inputs is crucial for valid results and to inform decision makers about possible biases. With regard to ICERs, Markov models might provide similar estimates as more advanced modeling techniques. Copyright Scholz and Mittendorf; licensee Springer. 2014
