Table 5. Deaths averted for each intervention over 20-year time horizon.
Intervention | Deaths averted (thousands) | Incremental cost-effectiveness ($/death averted) | ||
Low efficacy | High efficacy | Low efficacy | High efficacy | |
Supplementation | 105 (102–109) | 608 (604–611) | 6,100 (5,600–6,600) | 1,000 (1,000–1,100) |
Fortification | 86 (84–88) | 356 (349–362) | Dominated | Dominated |
GM fortification | 113 (110–116) | 654 (647–660) | 303,300 (310,000–297,100) | 53,000 (48,700–57,900) |
Note: Parentheses denote 95 percent confidence intervals. Each intervention is compared with immediately less effective and non-dominated alternative intervention.
