Health Economic Model Parameters for PFO Closure in Chinese Stroke Patients

Chinese-specific utility parameters for a Markov cohort model evaluating the cost-effectiveness of patent foramen ovale closure versus medical therapy for cryptogenic stroke. The dataset, authored by Chen Chen and last updated in March 2026, is a 5.5 KB Excel file containing inputs for a model with four health states and a 30-year horizon.

Use Cases

• Reproducing the cost-effectiveness analysis of PFO closure based on the described Markov model structure.
• Conducting sensitivity analyses on health economic models using the provided utility parameters.
• Informing evidence-based resource allocation for stroke prevention services in China based on the model's economic findings.

Strengths

• Model parameters are derived from the RESPECT trial extended follow-up data and Chinese-specific cost surveys.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and modification.
• The underlying study reports a 94.2% probability of cost-effectiveness at China's willingness-to-pay threshold.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating it contains only model parameters, not patient-level data.
