Long-term Comparative Effectiveness of Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment Strategies
… the most expensive specialty drugs. Although the treatment costs of RA have recently increased with the introduction of biologics, most of the economic and societal impacts are due to consequences of RA rather than direct treatment costs. Thus, the cost-effectiveness of biologics in RA is of high …

Modeling and study of infectious disease : stochastic modeling for antibiotic resistance and treatment strategies
… Units (ICU). This study examines several cycling treatments (7,14,30,60,120,240-day cycle) and random fraction treatment (50-50,60-40,80-20,100-0) strategies in ICU and finds that no single strategy will outperform all others. Human, hospital and pathogen conditions such as admission/departure …

Personalized Treatment Response Prediction under Dynamic and Time-Varying Treatment Strategies for Sepsis Patients
… can be caused by both excessive and insufficient treatment. There have been many clinical trials done in the past to investigate the optimal regime for treating sepsis, however these studies have resulted in inconclusive results and often take a long time to conduct. Thus, personalized treatment …
