A computer model to analyse the cost-effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy - a revised version

Abstract: This report presents a computer model for evaluating the
cost-effectiveness (CE) of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). The model is
an extension of a previous model and includes also the risk of spine and
wrist fracture. New Swedish data on risk of coronary heart disease and
related mortality are included. The report describes the model's structure
and data requirements; it also investigates the impact on the CE results by
using the new model and by adding the wrist and spine fractures to the
model. We further investigate whether the results are sensitive to the
inclusion of Swedish risk and mortality data for CHD instead of using data
based on the Framingham study. The results show that the incremental
cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) are insensitive to the chosen model, to
the assumption that the risk of wrist and spine fracture follows that of
hip fracture, and to replacing the Framingham data with Swedish CHD risk
and mortality data.
