[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] PREVENTING SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH: HARNESSING THE POWER OF DECISION ANALYSIS, BAYESIAN STATISTICAL MODEL [Institution] DUKE UNIVERSITY [Amount] $0 [Summary] Recent clinical trials of patients considered at risk for SCD have demonstrated that the implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the most effective therapy currently available -- the magnitude of effectiveness of ICD therapy in clinically defined subgroups is unclear. The proposed research will combine patient-level data from 11 clinical trials along with decision analytic methods and Bayesian statistical techniques to explore several unanswered and timely clinical and policy questions related to the prevention of sudden cardiac death.
