Cost-effectiveness plane for PAV™ relative to PSV. Results from 2,000 simulations in the US (A) and the UK (B) are presented as the difference in QALYs (X-axis) and the difference in total costs (Y-axis) for PAV™ vs. PSV (PAV™ minus PSV) over 40 years. The willingness-to-pay threshold of 50,000 USD or 30,000 GBP (converted here to USD to allow comparison) per QALY gained is shown by the diagonal line, with points under this line being considered cost-effective.
