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

April 30, 2026

12:00 PM

About this Event

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.

The conference brings together 300-500 scholars, clinicians, public health policy makers, trainees, students, and early career researchers dedicated to advancing medical decision making and features oral sessions, symposia, clinician focus sessions, poster presentations, and the prestigious Lee B.
