Aim: To develop a model to evaluate the cost-utility of choroidal nevi monitoring recommendations with varying clinical risk factors.
Methods: A Markov model was created to evaluate the cost-utility in cost per quality-adjusted life-year ($/QALY) for monitoring patients with choroidal nevus. This probabilistic model was applied both to a hypothetically monitored and unmonitored group of patients beginning at different ages and with varying clinical risk factors of the nevus.
Article Synopsis
- * Research is focusing on a new preclinical animal model that simulates ocular GVHD after systemic GVHD, allowing for better understanding of the immune mechanisms behind these complications.
- * The study introduces a clinical scoring model to evaluate ocular pathology in these animal models, looking to connect clinical outcomes with histological findings and serum biomarkers in future research.
