Monte-Carlo simulation: Optimal strategy stratified by willingness to pay in populations comprised of high-grade dysplasia (HGD - Panel A), low-grade dysplasia (LGD - Panel B) and no dysplasia (Panel C). The lines illustrate the proportion of trials in which each strategy was calculated to comprise the optimal strategy, defined as the strategy associated with the greatest dQALYs obtainable within a willingness to pay of $0 to $100,000 per discounted quality-adjusted life-year gained. BE: Barrett’s esophagus; APC: argon plasma coagulation; PDT: photodynamic therapy; RFA: radiofrequency ablation.
