Table 3.

Scenario analysis using scenarios A and B.

Scenario Scenario A ($1,038,093)
Scenario B ($1,485,635)
  ICER (QALY) % Difference ICER (evLYG) % Difference
  $150,000 Ref $150,000 Ref
Durability of 10 years $352,135 +135% $364,825 +143%
Durability of 20 years $190,593 +27% $200,844 +34%
Durability of 30 years $162,876 +9% $167,881 +12%
Constant costs and utilities per health state $156,329 −4% $156,722 −4%
evLYG utility of 1.0 during extended survival $150,000 0% $134,677 −10%

Note: Scenario A includes a CEA with QALYs and a placeholder treatment cost of $1,038,093. Scenario B includes a CEA with evLYG and a placeholder treatment cost of $1,485,635.

Both scenarios assume 3.0% discounting of costs and benefits.

CEA, cost-effectiveness analysis; evLYG, equal value life years gained; ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY, quality-adjusted life year.
