| For example, the first parameter listed is “Probability of reducing risk factors without an mDPP.” The baseline probability was 12.1%, but in sensitivity analyses, we varied this value from a low of 3.2% to a high of 25.9%. At the baseline value, the cost-effectiveness ratio was $3,420. If this probability decreases to 3.2%, then the cost-effectiveness ratio is $783 per QALY; if the probability increases to 25.9%, then the cost-effectiveness ratio is $18,580. We summarize this information as follows: |
Probability of enrollment in an mDPP: 47.0%; range, 9.2%-86.7% ($3,420; range, $16,707-$1,911)
Probability of reducing risk factors with an mDPP: 16.2%; range, 4.2%-34.4% ($3,420; range, $13,087-$0)
Probability of screening risk-factor–positive: 31.0%; range, 7.2%-63.5% ($3,420; range, $14,046-$1,818)
Utility for risk-factor–positive patients with an mDPP: 0.75; range, 0.73-0.77 ($3,420; range, $13,178-$1,926)
Probability of diabetes for risk-factor–positive patients without an mDPP: 10.8%; range, 2.9%-23.3% ($3,420; range, 8,505-$0)
Probability of diabetes for risk-factor–positive patients with an mDPP: 4.8%; range, 1.3%-10.5% ($3,420; range, $7,085-$1,911)
Utility for risk-factor–positive patients without an mDPP: 0.73; range, 0.71-0.75 ($3,420; range, $2,280-$7,301)
