Cost-effectiveness Analysis in Clinical Practice The Case of Heart Failure
Michael W. Rich,Robert F. Nease +1 more
TL;DR: Available evidence indicates that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, other vasodilators, digoxin, carvedilol, multidisciplinary heart failure management teams, and heart transplantation are all cost-effective approaches to treating heart failure; moreover, some of these interventions may result in net cost savings.
Representation and analysis of medical decision problems with influence diagrams.
TL;DR: The authors use clinical examples to illustrate the mathematical operations of the influence-diagram-evaluation algorithm; these operations are arc reversal, chance nodes removal by averaging, and decision node removal by policy determination.
