Observational databases contain a rich source of information that could be used by practicing physicians to evaluate treatment alternatives for their patients. We describe a computer system, the CABG Kibitzer, which uses an integrated approach to evaluate the treatment alternatives for CAD patients. We combine a statistical multivariate model for calculating survival advantages with DA techniques for assessing patient preferences and sensitivity analysis, to create one tool that physicians find easy to use in daily clinical practice. The development of tools of this kind is a necessary step in making the data of outcome studies accessible to practicing physicians. techreport 1990 A Computer Program for Statistically Based Decision Analysis KSL-90-50 1990 A Computer Program for Statistically Based Decision Analysis 1990 Year Title YES Process note Number Ksl tr id Knowledge Systems, AI Laboratory Institution Has year Has where published Has title Has publishing details Has identifier Has author Bibtype Jeanette X.
