calculate_icers_psa: Calculate incremental cost-effectiveness ratios from a 'psa'...

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also

View source: R/icers.R

Description

The mean costs and QALYs for each strategy in a PSA are used to conduct an incremental cost-effectiveness analysis. calculate_icers should be used if costs and QALYs for each strategy need to be specified manually, whereas calculate_icers_psa can be used if mean costs and mean QALYs from the PSA are assumed to represent a base case scenario for calculation of ICERS.

Optionally, the uncertainty argument can be used to provide the 2.5th and 97.5th quantiles for each strategy's cost and QALY outcomes based on the variation present in the PSA. Because the dominated vs. non-dominated status and the ordering of strategies in the ICER table are liable to change across different samples of the PSA, confidence intervals are not provided for the incremental costs and QALYs along the cost-effectiveness acceptability frontier. link{plot.psa} does not show the confidence intervals in the resulting plot even if present in the ICER table.

Usage

1
calculate_icers_psa(psa, uncertainty = FALSE)

Arguments

psa

psa object from link{make_psa_object}

uncertainty

whether or not 95 in the resulting ICER table. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A data frame and icers object of strategies and their associated status, cost, effect, incremental cost, incremental effect, and ICER. If uncertainty is set to TRUE, four additional columns are provided for the 2.5th and 97.5th quantiles for each strategy's cost and effect.
