PMID: 31128259

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Economic assessments of newborn screening programs for rare diseases involve the use of models and require huge efforts to synthesize information from different sources. Sharing and automatically or semi-automatically reusing this information for new assessments would be desirable, but it is not possible nowadays due to the lack of suitable tools.
