Table 3.

Two-way Sensitivity Analysis: Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio of Imperfectly Informed Antigen-Matching Varying Sensitivity and Specificity of Assay. Each value in the table reflects the incremental cost to prevent an additional alloimmunization event using a strategy of imperfectly informed antigen-matching with an assay of a particular sensitivity and specificity. History-based antigen-matching was used as a reference strategy. The shaded cells (dark background, white text) represent values less than $50,000 per alloimmunization event averted.
