Figure 3. Probability of Cost-Effectiveness of Intensive versus Standard Blood-Pressure Control.

Figure 3

Shown is the probability of the cost-effectiveness of intensive control of systolic blood pressure, as compared with standard control, according to a range of willingness-to-pay thresholds (the cost in dollars per quality-adjusted life-year [QALY]). The curves represent the four post-trial persistence-of-treatment-effect scenarios. The curves were generated from the results of the probabilistic analysis in which the model was run 1000 times with the use of random draws for all model measurements to capture joint uncertainty in the model results.
