Estimating Marginal Healthcare Costs Using Genetic Variants as Instrumental Variables: Mendelian Randomization in Economic Evaluation.

PharmacoEconomics - 1 Nov 2016

Dixon Padraig, Davey Smith George, von Hinke Stephanie, Davies Neil M, Hollingworth William

Abstract excerpt

Accurate measurement of the marginal healthcare costs associated with different diseases and health conditions is important, especially for increasingly prevalent conditions such as obesity. However, existing observational study designs cannot identify the causal impact of disease on healthcare costs. This paper explores the possibilities for causal inference offered by Mendelian randomization, a form of...
