177A Simple Example
4.4 Obtaining Results
In the worksheet Results, formulas are added to count the deaths as was
done for the recurrence events. Then, the three dimensions of value, and
their discounted amounts, are tallied. In HTA, the mean across entities is
taken, so the function AVERAGE is applied to the appropriate column in
the worksheet Accruals. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios can then be
calculated using the standard formula of increase in costs divided by gain in
QALYs. The Results worksheet now looks like Table4.10.
In the specialized DES software, the entities exiting the Death submodel
will have ended their simulation. ...
