I had conducted study on cost effectiveness analysis of oral hypoglycemic agents in Type II DM, i calculated ACER and ICER, now i need to apply modeling techniques to select best cost effectiveness option in treatment DM. I am interested in Markov-modelling tool in decision making. Any literature or source is required to make completion of this study. suggest me?
Dear Narayana,
I am expert in healt economis models (i.e. Markov model). I need more information to help you.
On the other hand, you can learn in this field with Briggs book.

Dear Narayana,
I agree with Carlos Crespo that you need to provide more information.
In the meantime, there are some books but you may not have easy access to them, so perhaps the ISPOR web site works better for you:

Thank you very much Dear Carlos Crespo and Dear Robert, My study title was "Cost Effectiveness analysis of Oral hypoglycemic agents in treatment of TYPE II DM in South India" Study was conducted in societal perspective, so all direct and indirect costs are included. A total of six metformin combinations are taken. FBS and PPBS are taken as outcome measures. Finally we calculated both ACER and ICER values, now we have to decide best cost effectiveness option for management of type II DM. Other than FBS and PPBS any more outcome measures shell we include, please suggest me sir. Partial results of my study are attached. Any suggestions or inputs made in the study can be given. Thank you so much for your kind reply
I'm based in New Delhi and trained in economic modelling techniques. You can send details to [email protected]
Dear Narayana,
I would suggest you read a bit more on modelling in general to make sure that indeed a Markov model is appropriate for your study. The Briggs textbook on modelling is an excellent read and has some guided examples for you to follow.
Sonnenberg's paper may also be helpful. All the best.

Thank you madam (Iris (Molosankwe) Mosweu, i will go through Briggs textbook, if any query arises i will get you soon. thank you soo much for your kind reply and suggestions.
Thank You dear Deny john, i will forward my study partial results and protocol to your mail. thank you very much sir for your kind reply.
I agree with Iris - I'm not sure what you are modelling here - a Markov model is a decision analytical tool when considering specific outcomes. Your data seem to be really only looking at cost comparisons. You probably need to define your research question more closely.
