The approach of handling uncertainty in cost-effectiveness models is also applicable to components of the BIA model that relate to the above-mentioned types of data (clinical probabilities, treatment patterns, resource utilisation and prices/tariffs).
Existing cost studies have primarily focused on estimations of chemotherapy use and costs [ 14- 17], with little information presented regarding broader treatment patterns, resource utilization, and costs for other service categories.
