Microsimulation models are often used to predict long-term outcomes and guide policy
decisions regarding cancer screening. The United Kingdom Flexible Sigmoidoscopy …

Background. Microsimulation models synthesize evidence about disease processes and
interventions, providing a method for predicting long-term benefits and harms of prevention …

Introduction Projection of the effect of cancer screening interventions are frequently
conducted using complex simulation models. It is important that such models demonstrate …

Background. Microsimulation models are increasingly being used to inform colorectal
cancer (CRC) screening recommendations. MISCAN-Colon is an example of such a model …

Background. Microsimulation models are important decision support tools for screening.
However, their complexity makes them difficult to understand and limits realization of their …

Background. This study aimed to assess the validity of 2 microsimulation models of
colorectal cancer (CRC), Policy1-Bowel and ASCCA. Methods. The model-estimated CRC …

Policy makers need rigorous and transparent methods to compare and evaluate different
health care strategies. To compare strategies for the same condition, head-to-head trials are …

Background. Validated microsimulation models have been shown to be useful tools in
providing support for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening decisions. Aiming to assist …

The aim of this thesis is to first describe the steps that are required to standardize the
structure of a microsimulation model (as MISCAN-Colon) and make it as the core of an …

Introduction: Microsimulation model provides important references for decision-making
regarding colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention strategies, yet such well-validated model is …
