Previous analyses, with which the results of this study should be compared, also did not perform effectiveness discounting [ 15, 25].
In line with recommendations by Groenwold [ 76], we will perform effectiveness analyses in the following ways: analysis with covariate adjustment and 2) intention-to-treat analysis by multiple imputations with covariate adjustment.
We performed comparative effectiveness research (CER) using state-of-the-art network meta-analyses to assess effectiveness and toxicities of treatments for lupus nephritis.
Fisher's exact test was performed for effectiveness metrics, because those metrics are categorical.
Simulation results are performed and effectiveness of the designed approach demonstrated.
Calculations were performed utilising effectiveness estimates that were 90, 70 and 50% of the baseline estimates.
All previously performed cost-effectiveness analyses using a static approach showed potential favourable cost-effectiveness for adolescent pertussis booster vaccination [49], [59], [60], [61], [73].
Three previous studies performed cost-effectiveness or cost-minimization analysis to compare reusable flexible scopes with single-use scopes.
EA performed cost-effectiveness analyses, and participated in the revision of the manuscript.
A limited number of other studies have also performed cost-effectiveness analysis, but in a non-comparative setting.
