A comparison of partitioned survival analysis and state transition multi-state modelling approaches using a case study in oncology.

Conclusions: Structural uncertainty in economic modelling is rarely explored due to time and resource limitations. This comparison of structural approaches indicates that the choice of structure may have a profound impact on cost-effectiveness results. This highlights the importance of carefully considered model conceptualization, and the need for further research to ascertain when it may be most appropriate to use each approach.
