Title: The analysis and interpretation of cost data in randomised trials
Speaker: Simon G. Thompson
Department of Medical Statistics and Evaluation,
Imperial College School of Medicine, London
Synopsis:
A review of the statistical approaches adopted in published health economic
evaluations in randomised trials revealed major deficiencies in
presentation, analysis and interpretation. Analysis should concentrate on
arithmetic mean cost, even though the distribution of costs is typically
highly skewed. The non-parametric bootstrap provides a flexible technique in
this situation.
