An object that summarizes simulated measures of clinical effectiveness and costs from a simulation model for use in a cost-effectiveness analysis.
A list containing two elements:
costsTotal (discounted) costs by category.
qalys(Discounted) quality-adjusted life-years.
The costs data.table contains the following columns:
The cost category.
The discount rate.
A randomly sampled parameter set from the probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA)
The treatment strategy ID.
An optional column denoting a subgroup. If not included, it is assumed that a single subgroup is being analyzed.
