We cover the following topics to get you started on your modeling projects right away.

  1. Introduction
    • Understand how treatment options, patient pathways and outcomes are represented in a health economic model.
    • Navigate the TreeAge Pro interface.
  2. Build Decision Trees
    • Build a model that represents treatment strategies and patient pathways.
    • Configure the model and add model inputs.
    • Calculate average outcomes per patient to compare strategies.
  3. Perform Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
    • Compare strategies based on expected costs and effectiveness.
    • Identify the preferred strategy using Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (ICER/NMB).
  4. Build and Analyze Markov Models
    • Build Markov models to represent disease progression over time.
    • Add key health states and events to the model structure.
    • Review how patients progress over time using Cohort Analysis.
    • Build and analyze a Markov model in a hands-on exercise.
  5. Assess Uncertainty with Sensitivity Analysis
    • Study the impact of individual parameter uncertainty on model results.
    • Identify which parameters have the greatest impact using Tornado Diagrams.
  6. Assess Uncertainty with Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis (PSA)
    • Evaluate the combined impact of parameter uncertainty to assess confidence in your model results.
  7. Determine a Cost-Effective Price with Threshold Analysis
    • Explore how changes in price affect cost-effectiveness and determine the maximum price that meets cost-effectiveness thresholds.

We cover the following topics to help you with your more complex modeling problems.

  1. Patient Simulation
    • Model complex disease processes by simulating individual patients over time.
    • Add heterogeneity and patient event history to drive disease progression.
    • Validate your model with patient-level reporting and debugging tools.
    • Strengthen your skills with a patient simulation exercise.
  2. Assign Clinical Data to Patients and Analyze Subgroups
    • Use Bootstrapping to assign simulated patient characteristics from clinical data.
    • Analyze results by subgroup to examine how treatment recommendations can vary by patient characteristics.
  3. Survival Analysis and Hazards
    • Examine clinical survival data and understand how risk changes over time – survival analysis.
    • Fit parametric distributions to survival data for extrapolation beyond observed data.
    • Incorporate survival functions and hazards into models to represent disease progression and event risk.
  4. Partitioned Survival Models (PartSA)
    • Define model disease progression directly from clinical survival curves – progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
    • Calculate costs and QALYs based on changing health-state membership over time.
  5. Model Calibration
    • Calibrate uncertain model inputs to reproduce observed clinical outcomes.
  6. Model Diagnosis & Screening
    • Incorporate screening strategies to diagnose disease and initiate treatment earlier.
    • Assess how screening cost, frequency, sensitivity, specificity, incidence, and prevalence affect cost-effectiveness.
  7. Share Models with Colleagues
    • Share models with TreeAge Pro Web, so colleagues can examine the model, edit inputs and run analyses through a simple web interface.
    • Export Markov models to Excel.
  8. Budget Impact Analysis
    • Calculate annualized model costs and apply population estimates to assess budget impact.
