Check our recent paper with colleagues in HERU and other institutions assessed the cost-effectiveness of making treatment decisions for ocular hypertension patients based on a risk prediction tool in the UK bmjophth.bmj.com/content/9/1/e0…

HERU We simulated individual patients from a rick dataset containing 5000+ patients from electronic medical records using a novel discrete event simulation model. The results suggest that risk prediction strategy had a 96% probability of being cost effective

HERU This paper is part of the delivery for the NIHR-funded project GRIP led by Augusto Azuara-Blanco. Project info: fundingawards.nihr.ac.uk/award/NIHR1318…

Our recent article with colleagues from HERU investigates patients’ preferences for alternative ways of ocular hypertension monitoring using a choice experiment doi.org/10.1136/bmjoph…

The most interesting finding: Although hospital-based monitoring is generally preferred, patients with prior experience in community services actually prefer community based monitoring, suggesting that experience and familiarity play roles here
