Deborah J. Rumsey, PhD, is an Auxiliary Professor and Statistics Education Specialist at The Ohio State University. The more data that are collected, the greater the certainty in the regulatory decision, but also the longer patients may need to wait to access the new treatment. Equation (1) allows us to convert this benefit to an implied risk threshold, thereby allowing us to tradeoff L0 and L1 directly in common risk units.. This button displays the currently selected search type. Based on this input from patients and regulators, a threshold technique survey was developed and administered to quantify the benefitrisk tradeoffs that are acceptable to people with PD and to assess their willingness to wait for a novel device that offers a greater therapeutic benefit. Given the additional information needed to apply EVIthe utility function, the probability distributions of the state variables, etc.we believe that our approach is the closest alternative to the status quo and therefore a practical next step for allowing regulators to incorporate patient preferences in their current decision framework.

Thats a decision each person has to make; however, itll be a much more informed decision once you realize standard deviation matters.
