One-way Sensitivity Analyses Showing Only those Parameters that, when Varied Across their Maximum Range, Caused the Printed Decision Support (PDS) Strategy to No Longer Dominate the Usual Care (UC) or Computer Decision Support (CDS) Strategies, or the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio of the PDS Strategy to be Greater than the Societal Willingness-to-Pay Threshold of $43 per Antibiotic Safely Avoided
