“Kickin’ it up a notch !”



Expected values of non-$$$ outcomes



Calculating incremental ratios

Applied examples



Monte Carlo simulations



Example output

Decision Analysis: Example 2 Consider whether or not to give Ab prophylaxis after c-sect to reduce post-partum infection (endometritis). A normal c-section results in a 3 day stay. If infection occurs, it results in an additional 4 days in the hospital. There are no other significant implications for using the antibiotic (no allergic reactions, etc.)

- What is the expected cost per patient for pts with Ab Tx and without Ab Tx?

Can I calculate an ICER with this data ?

Decision Analysis Exercise

(Total $$$ A - Total $$$ B) (Total Outcomes A - Total Outcomes B)

(7940-9000)/(3.32-4) = 1558

Probabilities can be more than just single values They can distributions and you can ‘simulate’ thousands of patients quickly
