Table 1. Model Inputs.
Variable | Cohort Input (Simulation Range)a | Source |
---|---|---|
Cost per hour of observation, $b | 286.92 (100-500) | Blumenthal et al, 2018,28 and Bureau of Labor Statistics29 |
Indirect costs per hour, $b | 27.77 (0-50) | Bureau of Labor Statistics30 |
Extended observation, h | 6 (6-24) | Kim et al, 201931 |
Short observation, h | 1 | |
Biphasic anaphylaxis negative predictive value at 1-h observation, % | 95 (95-99) | |
Biphasic anaphylaxis negative predictive value at ≥6-h observation, % | 97.3 (97.3-99) | |
Biphasic anaphylaxis case fatality, % | 0.33 (0.25-0.33) | Ma et al, 201413 |
Fatality risk reduction | 10-fold | Modeling assumption (sensitivity range 10- to 1000-fold) |
The cohort input also served as the mode for the triangular distribution used in simulation.
Costs are shown in 2019 US dollars.
