Description
Consider a hypothetical scenario where a medical intervention extends a patient’s life by 3 years. Before the intervention, the patient’s utility (quality of life) was measured at 0.6. After the intervention, the utility improved to 0.8. Calculate the traditional QALYs gained using the multiplicative model and the QALYs gained using the Complex Number model based on the information provided. Discuss the differences between the outcomes obtained from both models and explain which model you would consider more appropriate in evaluating the effectiveness of the medical intervention. Show your calculations step by step and compare the results obtained from both models, providing reasoning for your preference of the more appropriate model for such evaluations. Ensure that the discussion part has at least 500-700 words, and use graphs to support your answer.
