Sean D. Candrilli, PhD, is a Vice President of Health Economics at RTI-HS. During his near 20-year tenure at RTI-HS, Dr. Candrilli has worked extensively in the area of data management and analyses of clinical trial and commercially available and public use databases, as well as with data drawn from medical records (i.e., retrospective medical record abstraction). His academic background is heavily grounded in applied economics and econometrics, particularly as related to public health topics, and he has extensive experience in all aspects of retrospective health care claims database analyses, cross-sectional and longitudinal survey analyses, econometric modeling, and data management using a variety of statistical packages, including SAS, SUDAAN, and Stata. Dr. Candrilli has conducted research to estimate the economic burden of illness and treatment in various disease areas, including oncology, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular health, and infectious disease. He has also conducted research to characterize treatment patterns using retrospective medical record abstraction techniques, with a particular emphasis on oncology. Additionally, Dr. Candrilli has analyzed numerous survey databases (including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the National Ambulatory Medical Survey, the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Survey, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project family of databases) to estimate the prevalence of various medical conditions and their associated economic burden.
Dr. Candrilli has coauthored research published in Managed Care Interface, Journal of Trauma, Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications, Epilepsia, Clinical Lymphoma and Myeloma, Epilepsy and Behaviour, Ethnicity and Disease, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Journal of Pain & Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy, Managed Care, Epilepsy Research, Postgraduate Medicine, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health, American Journal of Hematology, BMC Surgery, American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Health Outcomes Research in Medicine, International Journal of Hematology, Journal of Pediatrics, World Journal of Surgical Oncology, Journal of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research, Current Medical Research and Opinion, BMC Psychiatry, Archives of Public Health, Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, Hospital Practice, Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Annals of Pharmacotherapy, Clinical Therapeutics, Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research, Infectious Diseases and Therapy, Journal of the Neurological Sciences, Sarcoma, Clinical Sarcoma Research, Vaccine, and ClinicoEconomics and Outcomes Research.
