    Scott D Ramsey, David K Blough et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2008Referencias: 27

    BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: Expected value of information (EVI) analyses allow researchers to estimate the returns to conducting research. We used EVI techniques to estimate the value of the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT), a multicenter randomized trial of lung-volume-reduction surgery (LVRS) versus medical therapy (MT) for patients with severe emphysema, then compared that result to the trial cost. METHODS: We gathered information on costs …
