Table 4. DALYs averted for each intervention over 20-year time horizon.
Intervention | DALYs averted (millions) | Incremental cost-effectiveness ($/DALY) | ||
Low efficacy | High efficacy | Low efficacy | High efficacy | |
Supplementation | 12.7 (12.4–13.1) | 27.6 (27.3–28.0) | 50 (46–54) | 23 (22–24) |
Fortification | 10.8 (10.5–11.1) | 18.6 (18.2–19.0) | Dominated | Dominated |
GM fortification | 18.1 (17.8–18.5) | 33.7 (33.2–34.1) | 450 (438–461) | 403 (389–418) |
Note: Parentheses denote 95 percent confidence intervals. Each intervention is compared with immediately less effective and non-dominated alternative intervention.
