SMDM Webinar: An Introduction to Net Benefit Regression for Real-World Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: What if your data are censored?

30 April 2026

In this session we review the main points in Chen et al . “A Tutorial on Net Benefit Regression for Real-World Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Using Censored Data from Randomized or Observational Studies.” Med Decis Making. 2024 Apr;44(3):239-251. The talk illustrates the steps involved in carrying out cost-effectiveness analysis using net benefit regression with possibly censored data by providing step-by-step guidance and code applied to a dataset. We demonstrate the importance of new methods by showing that naïve methods for handling censoring can lead to biased cost-effectiveness results.

Submit a Course Proposal

This form is for Virtual short courses, not for proposing short courses for the Annual MeetingWhile courses may be submitted for both, title and content should not be exactly the same, and SMDM will work to schedule an in-person course prior to a virtual course if they feature similar content and the same instructor(s). Virtual Short Course proposals are reviewed by the SMDM Education Committee. Scheduling of short courses involves many considerations, however if your course is not immediately selected it will be held on our potential course list for the future.
