Simulated scenarios

Scenario 1: Cost-effective
CONTROL ACTIVE
Cost Lognormal (6.214608, 0.75) Lognormal (6.907755, 0.75)
Effect 0.9-Gamma (6.25, 0.024) 0.9-Gamma (2, 0.05)
ICER 13,247.85 = (1,324.78 - 662.39)/(0.8-0.75)
INB* 837.61
Scenario 2: Non-cost-effective
CONTROL ACTIVE
Cost Lognormal (6.214608, 0.75) Lognormal(6.214608, 0.75)
Effect 0.9-Gamma (6.25, 0.024) 0.9-Gamma (4.5, 0.03)
ICER 44,159.49 = (1,324.78 - 662.39)/(0.765-0.75)
INB* −212.39
Scenario 3: Dominant
CONTROL ACTIVE
Cost Lognormal (6.907755, 0.75) Lognormal (6.214608, 0.75)
Effect 0.9-Gamma (6.25, 0.024) 0.9-Gamma (2, 0.05)
ICER −13,247.85 = (662.39 – 1,324.78)/(0.8-0.75)
INB* 2,162.39
