In recent years, multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) has emerged as a likely alternative to address shortcomings in health technology assessment (HTA) by offering a more holistic perspective to value assessment and acting as an alternative priority setting tool. In this paper, we argue that MCDA needs to subscribe to robust methodological processes related to the selection of objectives,...

OBJECTIVE To construct monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) and dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin reference ranges for umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI), UA resistance index (RI), fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI and peak systolic velocity (PSV) and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) from 24 weeks' to 38 weeks' gestation and compare these with published normal values for singleton pregnan...

OBJECTIVE to evaluate neonatal morbidity and mortality in monochorionic-diamniotic (MCDA) twin pregnancies complicated by selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) and non-selective intrauterine growth resctriction (nsIUGR). METHODS neonatal morbidity parameters and mortality were analyzed in 34 twins with IUGR (< 10th percentile on twins' growth charts): 18 with sIUGR and 16 with nsI...

Decision makers in different health care settings need to weigh the benefits and harms of alternative treatment strategies. Such health care decisions include marketing authorization by regulatory agencies, practice guideline formulation by clinical groups, and treatment selection by prescribers and patients in clinical practice. Multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a family of formal ...

The aim of this paper is to report on the development of a Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) Model that was implemented to optimize the location selection for a new healthcare centre. The paper demonstrates how MCDA was used within healthcare to enhance the robustness and transparency of the decision making process. Literature on MCDA was reviewed to contribute to the model development...

Multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) provides a well-established family of decision tools to aid stakeholder groups in arriving at collective decisions. MCDA can also function as a framework for the social learning process, serving as an educational aid in decision problems characterized by a high level of public participation. In this paper, the framework and results of a structured decision...

For the study of defects in III-V semiconductors an enhancement of sensitivity with respect to the conventional detection of electron paramagnetic and electron-nuclear double resonance (EPR/ENDOR) is necessary, because of low defect concentrations together with broad EPR lines and very small sample volumes as in the case of epitaxial layers. This can be achieved by optical detection of EPR and ...

Designing preventive programs relevant to vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease (LD) can be complex given the need to include multiple issues and perspectives into prioritizing public health actions. A multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) model was previously used to rank interventions for LD prevention in Quebec, Canada, where the disease is emerging. The aim of the current study was to ada...

Building consensus over the set of alternative solutions in a spatial decision making process promotes the sustainability, stability and longevity of spatial decisions. Web-based GIS–MCDA (Multicriteria Decision Analysis) facilitates consensus-building in the process of spatial decision making. The level of consensus among decision makers in the Web-based GIS–MCDA can be influenced by various d...

Fish full life cycle (FFLC) tests are increasingly required in the ecotoxicological assessment of endocrine active substances. However, FFLC tests have not been internationally standardized or validated, and it is currently unclear how such tests should best be designed to provide statistically sound and ecologically relevant results. This study describes how the technique of multi-criteria dec...
