When History and Heterogeneity Matter: A Tutorial on the Impact of Markov Model Specifications in the Context of Colorectal Cancer Screening
Townsley, R. M., Koutouan, P. R., Mayorga, M. E., Mills, S. D., Davis, M. M., & Hasmiller Lich, K. (2022, May 11). MEDICAL DECISION MAKING, Vol. 5.
author keywords: colorectal cancer screening; markov models; microsimulation
MeSH headings : Colonoscopy; Colorectal Neoplasms / diagnosis; Colorectal Neoplasms / epidemiology; Early Detection of Cancer / methods; Humans; Mass Screening / methods; Occult Blood
TL;DR:
Colorectal cancer screening trajectories and projected health outcomes were sensitive to the use of alternate Markov model specifications, demonstrating the importance of examining the memoryless assumption of the first-order Markovmodel when simulating health care utilization over time.

PLOS ONE, 15(1).
MeSH headings : Black or African American; Aged; Colorectal Neoplasms / diagnosis; Colorectal Neoplasms / economics; Early Detection of Cancer / economics; Early Detection of Cancer / ethics; Healthcare Disparities / economics; Healthcare Disparities / trends; Humans; Male; Medicaid / economics; Medicaid / trends; Middle Aged; North Carolina; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act / economics; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act / trends; Race Factors / economics; United States
TL;DR:
The findings suggest policies that expanding affordable, quality healthcare coverage could have a demonstrable, cost-saving impact while reducing cancer disparities are suggested.

Contributors: K. Hassmiller Lich *, . M.C. O'Leary, S. Nambiar n , n, M. Mayorga n , K. Hicklin*, L. Frerichs *, P. Shafer *, M. Davis *, S. Wheeler *
MeSH headings : Aged; Colorectal Neoplasms / diagnosis; Colorectal Neoplasms / therapy; Computer Simulation; Cost Savings / statistics & numerical data; Early Detection of Cancer / economics; Early Detection of Cancer / statistics & numerical data; Female; Humans; Insurance, Health / economics; Insurance, Health / statistics & numerical data; Male; Mass Screening / economics; Medicaid / economics; Medicaid / statistics & numerical data; Medicare / economics; Medicare / statistics & numerical data; Middle Aged; North Carolina; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; United States
TL;DR:
Estimated cost savings - balancing increased CRC screening/testing costs against decreased cancer treatment costs - are approximately $30’M and $970 M for Medicaid expansion and Medicare-for-all scenarios, respectively, compared to status quo.

Declining liver graft quality threatens the future of liver transplantation in the United States
Liver Transplantation, 21(8), 1040–1050.
MeSH headings : Adult; Computer Simulation; Databases, Factual; Donor Selection / trends; Female; Forecasting; Graft Survival; Health Care Rationing / trends; Health Services Needs and Demand / trends; Humans; Liver Transplantation / adverse effects; Liver Transplantation / trends; Male; Middle Aged; Models, Theoretical; Needs Assessment; Postoperative Complications / etiology; Process Assessment, Health Care / trends; Reproducibility of Results; Risk Assessment; Risk Factors; Time Factors; Tissue Donors / supply & distribution; Treatment Outcome; United States
TL;DR:
The transplant community will need to accept inferior grafts and potentially worse posttransplant outcomes and/or develop new strategies for increasing organ donation and utilization in order to maintain the number of LTs at the current level.
