321Case Study: Breast Cancer Surveillance
For each main analysis model run, the age at diagnosis was sampled (with
replacement) for 2,000 entities from the corresponding age-based subsets
(patients aged 50to 69years, and aged 70 years and over) of the observed
407women with early breast cancer at moderate risk of recurrence. Theadher-
ence rate for the scenario being analyzed was set and applied to all the simu-
lated women. Then, the 1,000sets of convergent input parameters identied
through the model calibration process were sampled to obtain a set of input
parameter values for the model run. The DES then created three copies of each ...
