Vector-model-supported optimization in volumetric-modulated arc stereotactic radiotherapy planning for brain metastasis.

Long planning time in volumetric-modulated arc stereotactic radiotherapy (VMA-SRT) cases can limit its clinical efficiency and use. A vector model could retrieve previously successful radiotherapy cases that share various common anatomic features with the current case. The prsent study aimed to develop a vector model that could reduce planning time by applying the optimization parameters from thos...

A doubly robust approach for cost-effectiveness estimation from observational data.

Estimation of common cost-effectiveness measures, including the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and the net monetary benefit, is complicated by the need to account for informative censoring and inherent skewness of the data. In addition, since the two components of these measures, medical costs and survival are often collected from observational claims data, one must account for potential con...
