ABSTRACT

The purpose of this commentary is to focus on the downside of assumption-driven simulation modeling, the potential creation of a multitude of competing models, the mathematically impossible quality adjusted life year (QALY) and the failure to observe the axioms of fundamental measurement in mapping ordinal EQ-5D-5L preferences from the ordinal Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Continue Here
