By: J. Mason n, B. Denton n, N. Shah* & S. Smith*

author keywords: OR in medicine; Markov decision process; Type 2 diabetes; Blood pressure treatment; Cholesterol treatment
TL;DR: A Markov decision process (MDP) model is presented to determine the optimal timing of blood pressure and cholesterol medications for patients with type 2 diabetes and the trade off between quality-adjusted life years and costs of treatment. (via Semantic Scholar)

A comparison of decision-maker perspectives for optimal cholesterol treatment

IBM JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, 56(5).

By: J. Mason n & B. Denton n

TL;DR: A Markov decision process (MDP) is used to show how decision-maker perspectives can influence medical treatment decisions related to cardiovascular risk management in patients with type 2 diabetes, and an inverse MDP model is formulated to estimate the implied monetary value of a year of life, from the societal perspective, according to current U.S. treatment guidelines.

Optimizing Statin Treatment Decisions for Diabetes Patients in the Presence of Uncertain Future Adherence

MEDICAL DECISION MAKING, 32(1), 154–166.

By: J. Mason n, D. England n, B. Denton, S. Smith n, M. Kurt n & N. Shah n

author keywords: adherence; diabetes; statins; Markov decision process
MeSH headings : Adult; Decision Making; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 / drug therapy; Female; Humans; Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA Reductase Inhibitors / therapeutic use; Male; Markov Chains; Middle Aged; Patient Compliance; Quality-Adjusted Life Years
TL;DR: A Markov decision process (MDP) model is used to optimize the treatment decision for patients with type 2 diabetes and determines the optimal time of statin initiation that minimizes expected costs and maximizes expected quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). (via Semantic Scholar)
