This article is about Decision analysis. For other uses of the term Analysis , please see Analysis (disambiguation).
Decision analysis is a formal method for modeling complex decisions in order to quantitatively compare choices.[1][2][3][4][5]
A decision tree is a "graphic device used in decision analysis, series of decision options are represented as branches (hierarchical)."[6]
An example of a decision analysis used in health care addresses screening for colorectal cancer.[7]
Decision analyses may be able to predict the results of subsequent randomized controlled trials.[8]
The use of decision analysis may improve the validity of clinical practice guidelines.[9]
Interpretation
Guidelines on interpreting a decision analysis in health care are available.[10][11]
Methods for teaching understanding of decision analysis have been developed.[12]
