 Different assumptions on effect from increasing proportion receiving dual antiplatelet therapy
  1) Same effect and INB as estimated from the PLATO trial 505
  2) Double QALY gain and same cost as estimated form the PLATO trial 1066
  3) Half the QALY gain and same cost as estimated from the PLATO trial 225
  4) Zero QALY gain but same cost as estimated for the PLATO trial −56

Data show incremental net benefit estimates (INBs) in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) from eliminating slow (A), low (B), and delayed (C = C1 + C2) implementation, as well as the value of eliminating regional implementation variation (D).
