Table 2 Suggestions for future papers reporting on CHD policy models
From: Coronary heart disease policy models: a systematic review
A CHD modelling paper should explicitly report and discuss; |
|---|
-Aims of the project |
-Structure and methods of the model |
-Data quality (data availability, how up to date, comprehensive, any gaps in certain population groups or interventions). Reasons for selecting or excluding specific data sources |
-Methodological limitations -The assumptions used to address these deficiencies |
-Sensitivity analyses (one-way or preferably multi-way) |
-Whether the validity of the model was checked (with real observational data or with other models) |
-Replication of the model in different populations |
-Model results and comparisons with other studies |
-Social and economic policy implications of model outcomes |
