Estimating lifetime healthcare costs with morbidity data
BACKGROUND In many developed countries, the economic crisis started in 2008 producing a serious contraction of the financial resources spent on healthcare. Identifying which individuals will require more resources and the moment in their lives these resources have to be allocated becomes essential. It is well known that a small number of individuals with complex healthcare needs consume a high ...
متن کاملEstimating Mean Quality Adjusted Lifetime with Censored Data
In the clinical trials of chronic diseases such as cancer or AIDS, it has been increasingly recognized that it is not enough just to consider simple time to event end points. For example, a new experimental drug may prolong overall survival time of patients, but in the meantime, it can be toxic for a longer period of time. Therefore, the trade-off between the quality and quantity of life of pat...
متن کاملEstimating Episodes of Care Using Linked Medical Claims Data
Australia has extensive administrative health data collected by Commonwealth and state agencies. The value of the health data is how quickly and effectively the data can be converted into useful knowledge independent of its quantity and quality. Using a unique cleaned and linked administrative health dataset we address the problem of empirically defining episodes of care. An episode of care is ...
متن کاملEstimating medical costs
Abstract: Nonparametric estimators of the mean total cost have been proposed in a variety of settings. In clinical trials it is generally impractical to follow up patients until all have responded, and therefore censoring of patient outcomes and total cost will occur in practice. We describe a general longitudinal framework in which costs emanate from two streams, during sojourn in health state...
متن کاملDetecting Changes in the Mean from Censored Lifetime Data
In many industrial and medical applications observations are censored either due to inherent limitations or cost/time considerations. For example, with many products their lifetimes are sufficiently long that it is infeasible to test all products until failure even using accelerated testing. As a result, often a limited stress test is performed and only a proportion of the true failure times ar...
