Time Horizon
The period over which costs and outcomes are modelled in a health economic analysis.
Definition
The time horizon should be long enough to capture all relevant differences in costs and outcomes between interventions. For chronic conditions, a lifetime horizon is typically required. Shorter time horizons may miss long-term cost offsets or outcome differences. NICE generally requires a lifetime horizon unless a shorter period can be justified.
