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.
