From: Risk-stratification in febrile infants 29 to 60 days old: a cost-effectiveness analysis

Fig. 2

Tornado diagram, one-way sensitivity analysis, bacteremia model. One-way sensitivity analysis of selected variables comparing PECARN and Boston strategies in the bacteremia model. Variables and ranges are listed to the right of the figure. Light gray bars indicate decreasing variable value. Dark gray indicates increasing variable value. The base case, in which the Boston strategy is favored over the PECARN strategy with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $9799/quality-adjusted life-year gained (QALY), is represented in the left vertical dashed line. The willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000/QALY is represented by the right vertical line. Resulting incremental cost-effectiveness ratio values, in U.S. dollars/QALY, from are represented along the horizontal axis.
