An elected head of state is accountable, democratic, representative, cost effective. It provides stability, legitimacy, transparency, adaptability, and unity.

Accountability matters. An elected head of state is answerable to the people who voted them in. #accountability #democracy

Democracy is the bedrock of a free society. An elected head of state reflects the people's will, chosen through a fair and transparent process. #democracy #fairness

#SIRT for advanced HCC has been recommended by @NICEComms. There may be some reasons for doing this but #costeffectiveness is not one of them. A short Tweetorial. @BSIR_News @cirsesociety @BASLedu nice.org.uk/news/article/h…
The relevant population here is people with advanced HCC. BCLC C, CP A, PS 1-2, unsuitable for conventional transarterial therapy (eg. portal vein thrombosis). These people have a dismal prognosis: most are dead within a year.
Treatment options are limited. Sorafenib is a protein kinase inhibitor and prolongs life slightly (vs best supportive care: SHARP trial) but at significant expense. It was originally rejected by NICE on this basis so Bayer applied via the Cancer Drugs fund (ie: reduced the cost). 
I'm now live tweeting from the #ISPOREurope session Much Ado About Little: Dealing with Limited RCT Evidence for Early HTA and Reimbursement Decisions with @MJSculpher, @SBujkiewicz, Eva Dietrich, Steven Palmer from @CHEyork, and @UweSiebert9
@MJSculpher starts by setting the context and introducing the speakers.
@UweSiebert9 is the 1st plenary speaker, on causal inference in #RCTs and #RWE

When do we need causal inference methoss? when there's no randomisation; or the randomisation was broken (e.g. treatment switches)
Throughout his talk, Uwe will use the example of 2nd line treatment in women with ovarian cancer who progressed

Missed the panel “Value-Based Pricing and Market Allocative Efficiency: How Should Cost-Effectiveness Thresholds be Set to "Optimally" Distribute Value between Payers and Developers?” w @mikepaulden, @MBerdud & Laura Vallejo-Torres at #ISPOREurope?

Laura starts with what her presentation will cover:
1-What is a #CostEffectiveness #Threshold for?
2-What should it reflect?
3-How to estimate it empirically?
4-What are the consequences of setting the decision threshold at != from empirical threshold?

What is a #Threshold? It is to find out if an intervention generates more benefits gained than lost via the opportunity cost, AND/OR to identify a decision threshold that incorporates other policy objectives.
