- Title
Incorporating Lag Time to Benefit Into Prevention Decisions for Older Adults.
- Authors
Lee, Sei J.; Leipzig, Rosanne M.; Walter, Louise C.
- Abstract
The authors offer views on how guidelines are using age as a marker for life expectancy and show how accounting for life expectancy could improve prevention decisions. They outline ways to determine lag time to benefit and life expectancy. They also demonstrate how this framework could be applied for a hypothetical patient during a Medicare Annual Wellness visit.
