Seminar: Economic evaluations alongside Stepped Wedge Trials
A systematic review and simulation study of statistical models
The Centre for Health Economics at Monash Business School invites you to the research webinar 'Economic evaluations alongside Stepped Wedge Trials: a systematic review and simulation study of statistical models' presented by Dr Thomas Lung from The George Institute for Global Health.
The stepped wedge trial (SWT) design has gained popularity in recent years and has practical and methodological advantages over the classic parallel group design. There is a lack of consensus as to which statistical model to select when conducting economic evaluations alongside SWTs. A systematic review of economic evaluations alongside SWTs was done to identify the current models used in the literature. A simulation study was conducted comparing the performance of models that accounted for the correlation between costs and outcomes across individuals within a cluster, clusters as random-effects and time fixed-effects on costs and outcomes.
Presenter
Thomas Lung is Senior Research Fellow and a NHMRC and Heart Foundation Early Career Fellow. He is a health economist and leads the Economic Evaluation and Modelling stream of research at the George Institute for Global Health. He holds honorary positions at the University of Sydney (Research Fellow) and at UNSW (Senior Conjoint Lecturer). Thomas has extensive experience in economic evaluations, particularly on the use of health economic modelling aimed to improve long-term health outcomes and reduce costs to the health system in chronic disease. He has developed and applied discrete-time simulation models in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, to inform economic evaluations in these specific disease areas.
CHE seminar series
At the Centre for Health Economics, we are working on running as many of our seminars as possible online while COVID-19 remains an obstacle to getting together. As we will be working with experts and colleagues in other parts of the world there will be some movement in the times and days that seminars run to take into account different time zones and availabilities. If you would like to be on our seminar email list, please be directly in contact by email to shannon.stanwell@monash.edu.
Hope to see you there!
