Possibility of indicating the horizon as a function of the age

[Francisco Javier Díez]

Currently OpenMarkov offers the possibility of indicating the horizon as the number of cycles. However, many models (MIDs, DESnets) in medicine include the patient’s age as a variable, and it would be useful to use it to set the horizon, especially for sensitivity analyses where the patient’s initial age (i.e., the age when entering the model) varies. It would be necessary to include in the GUI the possibility of specifying the variable (the default value proposed to the user might be “Age” or “Edad”, if present in the model) and then revise the algorithms for MIDs and DESnets.
