Fig. 3From: A long-term cost-effectiveness analysis of cardiac resynchronisation therapy with or without defibrillator based on health claims dataA Monte Carlo simulation Probabilistic sensitivity analysis CRT-P vs. CRT-D: results of 10,000 model iterations (Monte Carlo simulation). The scatterplot depicts uncertainty in the model regarding costs and life years for CRT-P patients relative to CRT-D patients. B Cost-effectiveness acceptability (CEAC) curve CRT-P vs. CRT-D. The CEAC illustrated the proportion of ICERs from the Monte Carlo simulation that was above the chosen willingness to accept a negative outcome. CRT-P: cardiac biventricular pacemaker, CRT-D: cardiac biventricular defibrillator, ICER: incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, LY: life yearBack to article page
