ISPOR 13th Annual Meeting
8:00 - 12:00, May 4, 2008

Course Description:

The adoption / diffusion of new medical treatments depend increasingly on evidence of costs and cost-effectiveness. During this course, the following statistical considerations in economic evaluations will be discussed: affect of distributional assumptions, analyzing univariate and multivariable analysis data, analyzing censored data, sample size and power calculations,
sampling uncertainty, point estimates for variables, net monetary benefit, and confidence intervals for cost-effectiveness ratios. During this course, study examples will be provided to illustrate concepts. Participants should have some knowledge of basic economic evaluations and statistics.
