Bayesian cost-effectiveness analysis in clinical trials.
Tony O'Hagan
University of Sheffield
ABSTRACT
The question of cost-effectiveness of medicines and medical treatments is
becoming increasingly important. The UK has established NICE (the National
Institute for Clinical Excellence) to advise the NHS on the most effective
and cost-effective treatments, and similar moves are taking place in many
other countries. The area of health economics, in which these questions
arise, is relatively young and there are many important open questions for
statisticians to address. I will present some methods appropriate in the
context where economic data are collected alongside efficacy outcomes for
patients in a clinical trial.
