State-transition modeling includes both Markov model cohort simulation as well as individual-based (first-order Monte Carlo) microsimulation. These models have been used in many different populations and diseases, and their applications range from personalized health care strategies to public health programs. Most frequently, state-transition models are used in the evaluation of risk factor interventions, screening, diagnostic procedures, treatment strategies, and disease management programs. Recommendations are made on choice of model type (cohort vs. individual-level model), model…

This article provides a series of consensus-based best practices regarding the process of model conceptualization, specifically when models are used to inform medical decisions and health-related resource allocation. The authors divide the conceptualization process into two distinct components: the conceptualization of the problem, which converts knowledge of the health care process or decision into a representation of the problem, followed by the conceptualization of the model itself, which matches the attributes and characteristics of a…
