Notes: Table reports simulation results of ICERs from varying the mean of each parameter as indicated for Microlife/Uristik device combination. Each cell represents a separate simulation. Low-resource country scenario (e.g., Nigeria) has high general mortality: untreated survival 92.4%; treated survival 98.93%. High-resource country scenario (e.g., South Africa) has low general mortality: untreated survival 96.4%; treated survival 99.93%.
