Modeling and Simulation of Screening: Methods, Technologies and Applications in the Austrian Setting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modeling techniques and the decision process for research question definition using PICO (Population, Intervention, Control/Comperator, Outcome) in HTA (Health Technology Assessment) problems are described briefly in the first part of the paper. The second part deals with some aspects of realized screening questions regarding cost effectiveness of organized breast cancer screening in Austria and a screening program for abdominal aortic aneurysm. In case of breast cancer a closer look on model calibration for natural history behavior of tumor growth/development is given.

متن کاملTransforming Disciplinary Traditions; Comment on “Problems and Promises of Health Technologies: The Role of Early Health Economic Modeling”
Grutters et al show that economic assessments can inform the development of new health technologies at an early stage. This is an important contribution to health services and policy research, which implies a “shift away” from the more traditional forms of academic health economic modeling. Because transforming established disciplinary traditions is both valuable and de...
