Example multi-state data for parameterizing a continuous time state transition model. Costs and utility are also included to facilitate cost-effectiveness analysis.
mstate3_exdataA list containing the following elements:
A data frame containing the times at which patient transitions between health states based on the prothr dataset from the mstate package.
A list of data frames. The first data frame contains summary medical cost estimates and the second data frame contains drug cost data.
A data frame of summary utility estimates.
The data frame has the following columns:
Treatment strategy identification number.
Patient identification number.
Patient age (in years).
1 if a patient is female; 0 if male.
Starting state.
Receiving state.
Transition number.
Starting time.
Transition time.
Elapsed years between Tstart and Tstop.
Status variable; 1=transition, 0=censored.
The cost list contains two data frames. The first data frame contains data on the drug costs associated with each treatment strategy.
The treatment strategy identification number.
Annualized drug costs.
The second data frame contains summary data on medical costs by health state, and contains the following columns:
The health state identification number.
Mean costs.
Standard error of medical costs.
The data frame has the following columns:
The health state identification number.
Mean utility
Standard error of utility
