Stacked probAbility Visualization & Comparison (StaViC) Shiny App
This Shiny app visualizes stacked probability plots, for investigating the effects of implemented startegies by comparing the initial condition (No Intervention) with various intervention strategies (incorporating α, β, and θ)
States: 0- Admission into hospital, 1- Hospital-Acquired Infection, 2-Discharged alive, 3-Death, 4-Discharged Alive after HAI, 5-Death after HAI
Instructions:
- This app is particularly useful for comparing interventions, showing how they influence the probabilities of state transitions.
-
The sidebar of the app allows users to input hazard rates and specify values for α, β and θ.
- α, β and θ ∈ [0, 1], where 1 indicates Min. effect (no effect) and 0 is Max. effect.
- α is the effect of ENHANCED TREATMENT interventions on DISCHARGE and β on DEATH.
- θ is the IMPROVED INFECTION PREVENTION factor.
- α and β are the treatment enhancement factors while θ is the infection prevention factor.
- For ENHANCED TREATMENT ONLY, input values of only α and β (keeping θ at default 1).
- For INFECTION PREVENTION ONLY, input values of only θ (keeping α and β at default 1).
- For both, input values for all three parameters.
