Deterministic sensitivity and probabilistic analysis

Deterministic sensitivity analysis	LCO incidence	Cost per patient (€)	Mean ICU stay per patient (days)	Mean PO ward stay per patient (days)	Patients with no complications (% of total)
Intervention (Levosimendan)	Base case	14,792.33	2.50	6.46	53.85
	LCO 18% [4]	14,562 [13,741-14,879]	2.35 [1.8–3]	6.22 [5.7–7.8]	55.01 [52.87–57.87]
	LCO 6% [17]	12,757 [12,172-14,892]	2.07 [1.4–2.3]	5.63 [4.9–7.5]	61.23 [55.69–68.71]
No intervention	Base case	17,006.94	5.70	6.40	31.71
	LCO 35% [16]	16,511 [15,061- 16,773]	5.3 [4.1–6.9]	6.1 [4.9–6.5]	35.22 [32.6–38.03]
	LCO 25% [4]	15,825 [14,988- 16,260]	4.8 [3.5.-5.7]	5.9 [4.8–6.3]	38.6 [35.7–41.32]
Probabilistic analysis	Cost per patient (€)		Mean ICU stay (days)	Mean PO ward stay (days)	Patients with no complications (% of total)
Intervention (Levosimendan)	14,401 [13,368-14,971]		2.39 [1–3.9]	6.23 [4.2–8.34]	51.8 [47.34–53.02]
No intervention	16,652 [16,004- 17,212]		5.4 [3.8–7.1]	6.17 [4.03–8.22]	29.98 [27.91–32.4]
