Current recommendations on the estimation of transition probabilities in Markov cohort models for use in health care decision-making: a targeted literature review

摘要

ObjectiveAlthough Markov cohort models represent one of the most common forms of decision-analytic models used in health care decision-making, correct implementation of such models requires reliable estimation of transition probabilities. This study sought to identify consensus statements or guidelines that detail how such transition probability matrices should be estimated.
