Reporting on a Simulation Study

Abstract

In Chap. 2, we argued that clear, transparent, and complete reporting of a simulation study helps the reader to understand and interpret the study, as well as to evaluate the quality of its findings. In this chapter, we outline the information that should be reported from a simulation study in the area of health care evaluation. In particular, we describe the elements to be reported in relation to the study question, the methods, and the results of the simulation itself.
