Decision Tree
A model structure representing branching sequences of decisions and chance events over a short time horizon.
Definition
A decision tree models clinical pathways as a series of decision nodes (choices) and chance nodes (probabilistic outcomes), leading to terminal nodes with associated costs and outcomes. Decision trees are most appropriate for acute conditions or short time horizons. For chronic diseases, Markov models are preferred as they better represent ongoing risk over time.
