A shared random effects model for censored medical costs and mortality.
In this paper, we propose a model for medical costs recorded at regular time intervals, e.g. every month, as repeated measures in the presence of a terminating event, such as death. Prior models have related monthly medical costs to time since entry, with extra costs at the final observations at the time of death. Our joint model for monthly medical costs and survival time incorporates two impo...
متن کاملProportional means regression for censored medical costs.
The semiparametric proportional means model specifies that the mean function for the cumulative medical cost over time conditional on a set of covariates is equal to an arbitrary baseline mean function multiplied by an exponential regression function. We demonstrate how to estimate the vector-valued regression parameter using possibly censored lifetime costs. The estimator is consistent and asy...
متن کاملLinear regression analysis of censored medical costs.
This paper deals with the problem of linear regression for medical cost data when some study subjects are not followed for the full duration of interest so that their total costs are unknown. Standard survival analysis techniques are ill-suited to this type of censoring. The familiar normal equations for the least-squares estimation are modified in several ways to properly account for the incom...
متن کاملShared Decision Making & Medical Costs
The strongest argument for shared decision making is that patients have a fundamental right to understand all the reasonable medical options and the arguments for and against each option. Simply put, informing and involving patients in medical decisions is the right thing to do. The majority of people want to make decisions about their health care -rather than be told what to do or make decisio...
متن کاملBootstrap confidence intervals for medical costs with censored observations.
Medical costs data with administratively censored observations often arise in cost-effectiveness studies of treatments for life-threatening diseases. Mean of medical costs incurred from the start of a treatment until death or a certain time point after the implementation of treatment is frequently of interest. In many situations, due to the skewed nature of the cost distribution and non-uniform...
