Abstract
•Novel cost models to assess costs through hospital and community care states.•Moment Generating Function for phase-type classes with multiple absorbing states.•Facilitates economic evaluation to assess alternative clinical and care strategies.•Models applied to stroke data to assess the cost-effectiveness of thrombolysis.•Thrombolysis found to be cost-effective in the long term.
