Table 1.
Inputs | Base case | Sensitivity analysis |
---|---|---|
Risk of developing CHF | Based on risk scores and the standard model risk equations developed by Chow et al. [13] | Based on the Hazard ratio for CHF in a cohort of adult survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer according to anthracycline dose [16] |
Extrapolation of cumulative CHF incidence | Polynomial | Linear |
Risk of dying from non-CHF causes | Based on cause-specific cumulative mortality curves developed by Mertens et al. [20] | Based on life tables combined with SMR [21] |
Treatment effect calculations | Based on meta-analysis of data from non-randomized and randomized studies using M–H approach | Based on Bayesian meta-analysis of data from non-randomized and randomized studies |
Utility values | As presented in Wong et al. [22] |
Based on New York Heart Association classes I and III, [0.855 (0.845; 0.846) and 0.673 (0.665; 0.690)] representing heath states ALVD and CHF respectively [23] |
ALVD asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction, CHF congestive heart failure, SMR standardised mortality ratio
