However, again, this study serves as our first attempt to determine a validated cost-effectiveness threshold for Malaysia.
We used a validated cost-effectiveness model of type 2 diabetes to assess the lifetime health and cost consequences of use or nonuse of aspirin.
The discriminant power was measured as explained above, and the pruning level of the tree was chosen so as to obtain the lowest cross validated misclassification cost.
KnowMyMeds enables healthcare practitioners to perform clinically validated, cost-effective medication review for high-risk patients, including "dual eligibles" and the chronically ill, to reduce their drug-related hospitalizations and re-admissions.
We focused specifically on the case of a cost function that is inspired by a previously experimentally validated cost-benefit model [ 25].
The model has previously undergone peer-review [ 11, 12] and health technology assessments [ 31] and in terms of structure is very similar to a previously developed and validated cost-effectiveness model [ 32, 33].
16 Nationally validated unit costs, 2011, 17 were applied to these adjusted consultation lengths to calculate consultation costs.
To analyze the cost-effectiveness of bariatric surgery in severely obese (BMI ≥35 kg/m) adults who have diabetes, using a validated diabetes cost-effectiveness model.
We recommend regular monitoring of mental health status by trained counsellors or clinical staff, using simple, validated and cost-effective tools.
The use of vacuum bags from the homes of study participants is a validated and cost-effective method of collecting household dust samples for a range of organic and inorganic chemicals in epidemiologic studies (Colt et al. 1998, 2008).
