Both studies compared endoscopic carpal tunnel release with open carpal tunnel release, and were based on decision-analytic simulation models [ 8, 9].
Economic evaluations based on decision-analytic models synthesize the available evidence systematically and provide projected estimates of long-term outcomes when long-term data are missing.
The CHEC-list established by Evers et al. is limited to systematic reviews that include full health economic evaluations based on clinical trials; that is, it is not suitable for economic evaluation studies based on decision-analytic modelling or scenario-analysis.
The projections are based on a decision analytic model that integrates data from public sources, published literature, and clinical trial databases under a clearly specified set of assumptions.
The evaluation was based on a decision-analytic event simulation pharmacoeconomic model.
The cost-utility analysis of shunt surgery was based on a decision-analytic Markov model adapted to Swedish circumstances.
Selection of optimal cut-off based on a decision-analytic approach is a complex process that requires detailed input information of measures like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and related costs.
9 Leg ulcers are a recurrent condition, and consequently it could be argued that to ascertain fully the expected value for money of debriding agents, an economic analysis based on a comprehensive decision analytic model should be done.
The process uses a decision analytic framework based on a decision scaling approach, which combines scenario neutral analysis and vulnerability-specific probability assessment.
Then, the multicriteria decision methods based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and its generalization ANP (Analytic Network Process) are detailed, as well as the implementation phases.
