Cost–effectiveness of each of nine components of the screening for active cases of tuberculosis, Flanders, Belgium, 2007–2014
€: Euro; ICER: incremental cost–effectiveness ratio.
Notes: Others include individuals who do not belong to any specific risk groups but presented for consultation at a centre for respiratory health care. The boxplots reflect the statistical uncertainty in both the mean annual cost and the mean annual number of detected cases. In each boxplot, the vertical line represents the median of all simulated values, the box indicates the first and third quartiles, the whiskers extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range, and the points represent simulated values outside that interval. No cost–effectiveness ratio could be shown for the detection of cases during screening in juvenile detention centres because between 2007 and 2014 no active cases were detected during such screening.
