Open-source simulation model for investigating the cost-effectiveness of preventing and screening celiac disease

This tool enables users to compare the cost-effectiveness of different screening ages, frequencies, and protocols, empowering decision-makers to choose the optimal screening strategy for celiac disease. Additionally, it can assess the cost-effectiveness of novel prevention methods by evaluating their effectiveness and price, aiding future decisions on resource allocations. The open-source nature of the tool allows users to customize parameters for their specific use case, enabling regional comparisons and establishing thresholds, such as clinical test prices.

Instructions

The model will be open-sourced on GitHub once the research article based on the model is released. The GitHub page will include usage instructions, and a link will be provided later.
