Table 4.

Simulations of bias associated with different strengths of co-coverage, using SBA and ANC as an example.

SBA coverage
20% 40% 60% 80% Pearson r
Scenario 1: No co-coverage
Lives saved 7700 10400 13100 15800 0.00
Scenario 2: Weak co-coverage
Lives saved 7840 10680 13520 16360 0.08 to 0.10
Bias -1.8% -2.6% -3.1% -3.4%
Scenario 3: Moderate co-coverage
Lives saved 7180 10360 13540 16720 0.24 to 0.30
Bias 7.2% 0.4% -3.2% -5.5%
Scenario 4: Strong co-coverage
Lives saved 6990 10480 13970 17460 0.40 to 0.51
Bias 10.2% -0.8% -6.2% -9.5%
