Figure 4: Tornado diagram showing results of the one-way sensitivity analyses of the estimated lifetime medical cost per gonococcal infection in males (top) and females (bottom).

This diagram shows how the estimated lifetime medical cost per gonococcal infection changed from the base case result of $78 for males and $254 for females when one model parameter value was varied at a time and all other parameters were kept at their base case values listed in Table 1. For example, for females, the lifetime cost per infection varied from $77 to $465 when the probability of sequelae in an untreated infection was varied from its lower bound value of 0.02 to its upper bound value of 0.24. Note the scale is different for males and females.
