1. From: Estimating the Yearly Number of Eyes with Treatable Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using a Direct Standardization Method and a Markov Model
Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci ;47(10): doi: /iovs
Figure Legend:
The Markov model structure. Patients enter the model with neovascular ARMD in the first eye. At the end of each month, the disease can appear in the second eye (SE treated), a treatment (FE treated, SE treated) can be stopped (FE not treated, SE not treated), or the patient can die (death). All second eyes developing the disease are treated. Death probability is described in the text. Treatment duration models used exponential functions. Five-year to 1-month incidence rates were extrapolated using an independent probabilistic calculation.
