Authors' objectives: The aim of work package 4.2. is to define recommendations on how to parameterise models on the basis of secondary data including challenges and possible solutions.
Authors' recommendations: This report summarises the current modelling guidelines that are used within the context of HTA in terms of how to identify data for parameterising models, in terms of possible relevant types of data and in terms of further data processing methods. While the report is not to be regarded as exhaustive, it is intended to provide a starting point for developers of models to ensure a structured and methodological sound approach to building decision-analytical models for HTA. Since the correct handling of the different types of data requires many different experts from various disciplines, this report cannot replace a continuous process of knowledge exchange between experts from HTA, epidemiologists and modelling specialists in Austria during a modelling project. One part of such a dialogue may be the cooperation between the information specialist in an HTA unit and the model developer. Another part of cooperation may be between the model-developer and statisticians that are familiar with clinical epidemiology. Hence, the data that are provided for the HPV-vaccination model exercise in chapter 10 need now to be handled further by the model developers in an iterative process with the other partners involved.
