Table 2. Results of one-way sensitivity analyses comparing apixaban to adjusted-dose warfarin: parameters for which variations result in positive incremental cost-effectiveness ratios.

Variable Low range High range Threshold value*
Apixaban drug cost, 2 weeks ($) Dominant 35,583 106
ICH bi-weekly costs, $ 26,659 Dominant 2,418
ICH hazard ratio Dominant 12,049 0.49
Percentage of ICH that are fatal, % Dominant 1,111 44.0
Baseline rate of ICH on warfarin, % per year 4,899 Dominant 0.70
Cost of warfarin treatment including cost of INR laboratory test, 2 weeks ($) 2,156 Dominant 6.3

ICH  =  intracranial hemorrhage; INR  =  international normalized ratio.
