Objective To characterise contemporary results of aortic valve replacement in relation to type of prosthesis and subsequent competing hazards. Methods 5470 procedures in 5433 consecutive patients with ...

Microsimulation is a form of individual-based stochastic simulation. In continuous time, microsimulation is closely related to discrete event simulation, and in discrete time it is closely related to ...

Abstract: Microsimulation with stochastic life histories is an important tool in the development of public policies. In this article, we use microsimulation to evaluate policies for prostate cancer ...

Introduction Microsimulation models are computer-based models, which can be employed to simulate the behaviour of microagents, such as children and adolescents, to understand the potential behavioural ...

Introduction Although lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the US, recent advances in early detection and treatment have led to improvements in survival. However, there is a ...

The entire tech world is debating the consequences of artificial intelligence and the part AI is going to play in shaping our future. While we might think that artificial intelligence is at least a ...

We use microsimulation to forecast changes in coronary heart disease (CHD) among adults 45 or above over a 20-year time horizon in Los Angeles County (N = 3.4 million), a county with 12635 CHD deaths ...
