Come Advance Your Expertise in Survival Modeling for Health Economic Evaluation
Accurately extrapolating survival data is critical for health economic evaluations and value assessments. Traditional parametric approaches, such as exponential and Weibull models, often fall short when applied to novel, potentially curative therapies that produce complex survival patterns. This advanced course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to apply modern survival modeling techniques that better capture long-term outcomes and uncertainty in clinical and economic analyses.
Technical Topics Include:
• Standard parametric survival models and their limitations
• Advanced modeling methods, including parametric mixture, mixture-cure, and non-mixture cure models
• Incorporating external evidence to strengthen extrapolations
• Assessing structural assumptions and their implications for cost-effectiveness results
• Interpreting model outputs and uncertainty in health economic evaluations
This Course Includes Practical Tools and Concepts That Can Be Immediately Applied, Including:
• Step-by-step walkthroughs of advanced survival modeling exercises
• Guidance for selecting appropriate modeling techniques by context and data availability
• Opportunities to practice methods independently and interpret real-world modeling outcomes
PREREQUISITE: Participants must have a basic understanding of Kaplan-Meier curves, standard survival modeling techniques, such as a Weibull distribution in a partitioned survival framework, and R in order to follow along with the exercise walkthroughs.
