qalys function

Quality-adjusted life-years object

An object of class qalys returned from methods $sim_qalys() in model classes that store simulated quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs).

Components

A qalys object inherits from data.table and contains the following columns:

• sample: A random sample from the PSA.
• strategy_id: The treatment strategy ID.
• patient_id: The patient ID.
• grp_id: The subgroup ID.
• state_id: The health state ID.
• dr: The rate used to discount QALYs.
• category: A single category always equal to "qalys".
• qalys: The simulated values of QALYs.

If the argument lys = TRUE, then the data.table also contains a column lys containing simulated life-years.
