Diagnostic Strategy | Cost per person (95% CI) | % Correct Diagnosis (95% CI) | Incremental % Correct Diagnosis | NNT | ICER |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Minimalist Strategy | $6.17 ($2.50–19.68) | 91.1% (88.5–93.3%) | Ref | Ref | Ref |
Stepwise Strategy | $9.72 ($5.56–34.85) | 93.8% (92.0–95.3%) | 2.7% | 37.5 | $133 |
Comprehensive Strategy | $32.00 ($32–32) | 93.3% (90.8–95.7%) | 2.2% | 44.6 | $1,153 |
NNT = Number Needed to Test per additional correct diagnosis; ICER = Incremental Cost Effectiveness Ratio
