Data for: Cost-effectiveness of nutrition policies to discourage processed meat consumption: implications for cancer burden in the United States

The DiCOM is a probabilistic state-transition cohort model that projects the population effect of nutrition policies on cancer outcomes. The model consists of 1) six health states: healthy without cancer, initial treatment with colorectal cancer, continuous care with colorectal cancer, initial treatment with stomach cancer, continuous care with stomach cancer, and dead (from cancer or other causes); 2) the annual likelihood of changes in health; and 3) the lifetime consequences of such changes on health outcomes and economic costs.14 Our model estimated health benefits (life years, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs,) cancer incidence, and years living with cancer) and economic impact (e.g., policy implementation costs, healthcare costs, and productivity benefits).

DiCOM是一款概率状态转换队列模型，用于预测营养政策对癌症结局的人群效应。该模型由三部分构成：1）六种健康状态：无癌健康状态、结直肠癌初始治疗状态、结直肠癌持续照护状态、胃癌初始治疗状态、胃癌持续照护状态，以及因癌症或其他原因导致的死亡状态；2）健康状态年度变化的概率；3）此类变化对健康结局与经济成本的终生影响[14]。本模型估算了多项健康获益指标：生命年、质量调整生命年（Quality-Adjusted Life-Years, QALYs）、癌症发病率以及癌症患病年数，同时还评估了经济影响，包括政策实施成本、医疗保健成本与生产力获益。
