Abstract:
|
The goals of early detection of a particular disease with available screening test(s) are to reduce morbidity and mortality. Optimal screening strategies are expected to carefully balance these goals against the associated economic burden to patients and to health care systems. This research, using Bayesian decision-theoretic approach, investigates the problem of optimization by incorporating age-specific screening sensitivity, sojourn time, and incidence into a utility function.
