PY - 2014 SP - 1-23 CY - Munich UR - http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/60997/1/MPRA_paper_60997.pdf AB - Health fluctuations render the outcome of any treatment switch uncertain, so that decision makers might have to wait for more information before optimally switching treatments. This paper sets up a stochastic model that provides an optimal rule for the timing of treatment switch. The results of the model were then tested empirically with patient-based data on first-line and second-line antiretroviral treatment in India. The empirical results support the findings of the analytical model. ER -
