This calculator is intended to help determine the value of hepatitis B treatment in specific countries using country-specific information. Users enter in country-specific costs of disease and treatment and a desired time horizon. The calculator then simulates health and cost outcomes over that time horizon and presents overall results under scenarios with and without hepatitis B treatment. Users can then see how much treatment increases health for a representative person with hepatitis B. Users can also see how much the treatment costs over the time horizon (or if it ends up saving costs compared to no treatment).
