A disease model is a structured representation of how a condition develops and progresses over time, describing the health states patients may occupy and the risks of moving between them, and it forms the clinical backbone of many economic evaluations. By capturing the natural history of the condition and how an intervention modifies it, the model allows costs and outcomes to be projected beyond the limited follow-up of clinical trials to the longer, often lifetime, horizon relevant to decisions. The credibility of a disease model depends on the evidence supporting its structure, states and transition risks, and on validating its outputs against observed data. It enables the effects of a technology on the disease course to be translated into estimates of lifetime cost and health benefit.
