Key parameter estimates in sensitivity analyses

Notes
Patients with AMI and overt UGIB
Strategy of proceeding directly to CATH preferred if:
   EGD complication rate is ≥58%
   UGIB mortality rate is <1%
   UGIB rate following CATH is <12.7% No difference in complication rate between
    EGD and CATH strategies
   UGIB rate following CATH is <9.5% No difference in mortality rate between
    EGD and CATH strategies
Patients with AMI and occult UGIB
Strategy of EGD prior to CATH preferred if:
   EGD complication rate is <1%
   UGIB rate following CATH is >5.7% No difference in mortality rate between
    EGD and CATH strategies
   UGIB rate following CATH is >8.9% No difference in complication rate between
    EGD and CATH strategies
