The authors show how the parameters of Bayes’ theorem can be combined with a value function of health states in order to arrive at informed test and treatment decisions in the face of diagnostic and therapeutic risks. Distinguishing between risk-neutral, risk-averse, and prudent decision-makers, they demonstrate the effects of risk preferences on medical decisions. Furthermore, they analyze individual and multiple tests as well as diagnostic models in which the decision-maker chooses the test outcome. The consequences of test and treatment decisions for the patient are encompassed by quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and the standard economic model, which applies the willingness to pay for health approach. Lastly, non-expected utility models of choice under risk and uncertainty are presented. Although these models can explainsome of the test and treatment decisions observed, they are less suitable for normative analyses aimed at providing guidance on medical decision-making...This third edition provides extensively revised | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2022Latest edition | | 关键词 | Bayes‘ Theorem; Expected Utility; Medical Decision Making; Test and Treatment Thresholds; Valuing Health | | 版次 | 3 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-64654-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-64656-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-64654-0 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2022 |
