Sensitivity Analysis—Change of Irremovable Cast Walker Weekly Visits

Irremovable Cast Walker Weekly Visits Strategy Cost per Patient Incremental Cost per Patienta Number of Healed Ulcers Per 1,000 Patients Incremental Healed Ulcers Gained Per 1,000 Patientsb ICER ($/Ulcer Healed)

Abbreviation: ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.

a

Incremental cost = average cost (treatment A) – average cost (treatment B).

b

Incremental healed ulcers gained = total healed ulcers gained (treatment A) – total healed ulcers gained (treatment B).

c

Base case cost-effectiveness results.
