Healthy Uncertainty

A great work from home tip is you should wear work clothes, not pyjamas to put you in a working mindset. I like to take that one step further and wear my goblin outfit, paint myself green and then I imagine if I don't do my daily goblin tasks I'll be punished by the Goblin King

How Can #HealthEconomic Models Best Reflect Patient and Public Values?

This model has a lot of cool features that I'm looking forward to writing up and documenting once I find myself with some extra time (lol).

The model was built in #rstats and based on retrospective EMR data and estimates from the PHOENIX trial. It allowed us to evaluate #ibrutinib in both the first- and second-line setting, based on molecular subtyping through the use of an assay.

Just learned that a cost-effectiveness model I built in 2019 has finally made its way into the literature! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35205656/ We used the model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of cell-of-origin subtype guided treatment in #DLBCL

Thank you all who came to our event today! If you’re interested in patient and public involvement & transparency in modelling, check out the talks on YouTube, including from health economist @HlthyUncert & philosopher Kevin Elliott! @HlthResearchBC @PeerModels
