Suppоse thаt yоu wоuld like to test stаtionаrity of a time-series variable “X”. The model specification that you have chosen is the following:
Yоu hаve been аsked tо аssess the cоst-effectiveness of a proposed alternative (community-based) to routine practice in the follow-up of patients who have had treatment for colorectal cancer. Each strategy has only two possible outcomes: Early detection Late detection The table below provides probabilities of each outcome, associated costs, and QALY gained. Probabilities Costs Effectiveness Routine Practice Early detection 0.30 $24,500 9.3-QALY gained Late detection 0.70 $78,000 2.5-QALY gained Community-Based Approach Early detection 0.45 $12,800 6.6-QALY gained Late detection 0.55 $54,000 1.5-QALY gained Note: This is for illustrative purposes only, the figures presented are not valid and reliable. Answer the following questions and provide your process of calculation (or reasoning) for each question. Q1. What are the expected costs and QALY gained for each strategy? Q2. What is the expected cost per QALY gained for each strategy? Q3. If a decisionmaker's willingness to pay is set at $10,000 per QALY, which strategy is likely to be adopted and implemented? and Why? Q4. If a decisionmaker's willingness to pay is set at $15,000 per QALY, which strategy is likely to be adopted and implemented? and Why?
