Cost-effectiveness analysis of colorectal cancer screening strategies in singapore: A dynamic decision analytic approach

A dynamic decision analytic framework using local statistics and expert's opinions is put to study the cost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening strategies in Singapore. It is demonstrated that any of the screening strategies, if implemented, would increase the life expectancy of the po...
