Predicting survival in cost-effectiveness analyses based on clinical trials
Gerdtham, Ulf-G. (contributor);  … - 2001 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper deals with the question how to model health effects after the cessation of a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Using clinical trial data on severe congestive heart failure patients we illustrate how survival beyond the cessation of a RCT can be predicted based on parametric survival...

Economic conditions at birth, birth weight, ability, and the causal path to cardiovascular mortality
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Modin, Bitte - 2013
We analyze interaction effects of birth weight and the business cycle at birth on individual cardiovascular (CV) mortality later in life. In addition, we examine to what extent these long-run effects run by way of cognitive ability and education and to what extent those mitigate the long-run...
