Simulation used in conjunction with randomised control trials to evaluate the costs and benefits of a new drug |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
A discrete event simulation approach called POST (patient oriented simulation technique) was used to evaluate the long term cost implications of prescribing a drug which has been shown to reduce the rejection rates of transplanted kidney during the first year after a transplant operation. The results indicated that the extra cost incurred in using the drug during the first years after transplantation, would be partially repaid by a reduction in the number of patients returning to dialysis. |
