Package 'icertool'

Title: Calculate and Plot ICER
Description: The app will calculate the ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio) Rawlins (2012) <doi:10.1016/B978-0-7020-4084-9.00044-6> from the mean costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) Torrance and Feeny (2009) <doi:10.1017/S0266462300008461> for a set of treatment options, and draw the efficiency frontier in the costs-effectiveness plane. The app automatically identifies and excludes dominated and extended-dominated options from the ICER calculation.

Calculate the ICER and Plot the Efficiency Frontier

Description

The app will calculate the ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio) (Rawlins, 2012) doi:10.1016/B978-0-7020-4084-9.00044-6 from the mean costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) (Torrance and Feeny, 2009) doi:10.1017/S0266462300008461 for a set of treatment options, and draw the efficiency frontier in the costs-effectiveness plane. The app automatically identifies and excludes dominated and extended-dominated options from the ICER calculation.

Examples

if (interactive()){

data.0 <- as.data.frame(read_excel("icer.xlsx"))

cq<-myicer(data.0)

my_ce <- ce_plot(data.0,cq)

my_ce + theme(text = element_text(size = 12)) + geom_text_repel()

cq
