Core Tip	This overview focuses on providing an under­standing of decision modelling approaches and their application to liver transplantation, outlining the major characteristics of decision analytic models as well as the individual strengths and weaknesses of several main techniques for modelling. We believe decision modelling may be able to provide tools by bringing all evidence from other studies together and comparing the costs and consequences of alternative options to reach a de­cision. It is a particularly powerful tool for public health policy and clinical intervention assessment.
