Figure 5: Tornado diagram showing results of the one-way sensitivity analyses of the estimated lifetime medical cost per Trichomonas vaginalis infection in males (top) and females (bottom).

This diagram shows how the estimated lifetime medical cost per Trichomonas vaginalis infection changed from the base case result of $5 for males and $36 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 $22 to $61 when the probability that the infection was symptomatic was varied from its lower bound value of 0.118 to its upper bound value of 0.328. Note the scale is different for males and females.
