The transferability of cost evaluation results is studied using Principal Component Analysis and Euclidean distances. The method allows to determine whether the transferability of the results across countries is low, medium or high. The use of these two validated tools for measuring result...

To analyse the variability of cost assessment in health care, we proposed to study the variability of cost factors, i.e. the variables on which cost assessment is based in different countries. Two validated tools are used: Euclidean distance and Principal Component Analysis. The method involves...

Cette étude de la transférabilité des résultats des évaluations de coûts en santé repose sur l'analyse en composantes principales et les distances euclidiennes. Elle permet de montrer si les résultats sont faiblement, moyennement ou largement transférables. Le recours à ces deux...

Context: The significant survival benefit of chemotherapy over best supportive care for locally advanced and metastatic NSCLC has been amply demonstrated in the literature. However, there is no clear evidence of the impact of the type of chemotherapy or of a superiority of combination...
