Net budgetary impact of ferric citrate vs. standard of care; one-way sensitivity analyses

Net budgetary impact of ferric citrate vs. SOC (US$/year per 100 patients treated)
Mean (SEM) p valuea
Ratio of missed treatments to hospitalizations
 1:1 (base case; 24% reduction in missed treatments) +213,223 (14,111) <0.001
 1.25:1 (30% reduction in missed treatments) +220,366 (14,340) <0.001
 1.5:1 (36% reduction in missed treatments) +223,281 (14,839) <0.001
Implications of Hb differential on ESA utilization, +0.35 g/dL greater Hb results in:
 0% further reduction in ESA (base case) +213,223 (14,111) <0.001
 10% further reduction in ESA +246,690 (15,871) <0.001
 20% further reduction in ESA +281,758 (19,262) <0.001
 30% further reduction in ESA +316,296 (21,974) <0.001
