Decision tree model
• Simple
• Suitable for relatively uncomplicated scenarios or events that
happen over a short time horizon
• No intervention
• Transition probability (NGT à IGT) x N = 0.163 x 1000 = 163
• N = number of individuals with NGT
• With intervention
• Transition probability (NGT à IGT) x N = 0.152 x 1000 = 152
• Fewer individuals will develop IGT (i.e. intervention is effective)

Markov cohort model
• Cost and outcomes (e.g. QALY) are attached to each health state
• Total costs = cost associated with each health state X number of patients who experienced the
health state X duration that patient is in the health state and then summing across all states
experienced in the model

The People
• Who are the people that should be studied? This is the population of
interest.
• The people to be studied may be identified in different ways.
o People living with a specific condition, OR
• Examples:
o All people with low back pain
o Injection drug users who share needles and are at risk for Hepatitis C
