Tab. X.
Utility decrement associated with uncoated catheters.
| Population | Base case input | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Uncoated catheter users | 0.017 | Averbeck et al. (2018) [19] ~ Table III, second row. It is a modeller assumption that the population-specific estimate for SCI catheter users relates to the use of hydrophilic-coated catheters as opposed to uncoated (we cannot access the full papers referenced by Bermingham et al to confirm/deny this assumption). Therefore, this value is applied as a decrement for uncoated catheters, rather than as an additional benefit for hydrophilic-coated catheters. |
