Introduction-to-R-for-HTA: getting to grips with R for health economic decision modelling


This repository stores the code, presentations, and material used in the R-HTA in LMICs introductory 2023 tutorial. The following sections provide a breakdown of the primary documents and guidance on how to use them for your own personal training. The tutorial is based on several open-source frameworks for Cost-Effectiveness Analysis modelling in R, developed by the DARTH group, for HTA (see the citations section).

Navigation

The R folder includes the core R script of the Markov model which produces the economic results for the cost-effectiveness analysis. The model is an R based replication of a model originally presented in chapter two of Decision Modelling for Health Economic Evaluation by Briggs A., et al.

The excel folder includes the original model's solution template, developed in Excel, provided by Oxford's Health Economics Research Centre (HERC).

The analysis folder includes the secondary R script that produces the economic analysis from the results of the Markov model.

Preliminaries

# Install release version from CRAN
install.packages("devtools")

# Or install development version from GitHub
# devtools::install_github("r-lib/devtools")
  • then install darthtools using devtools
# Install development version from GitHub
devtools::install_github("DARTH-git/darthtools")
