Estimating Survival for Cost-Effectiveness Analyses: A Case Study in Atherothrombosis

Predicting survival in cost-effectiveness analyses based on clinical trials.

This study deals with the question of how to model health effects after the cessation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). By using clinical trial data on severe congestive heart failure patients, we illustrate how survival beyond the cessation of an RCT can be predicted based on parametric survival models. In the analysis, we compare predicted survival and the resulting incremental cost-eff...
