Fig. 2 Scatter plots of probabilistic sensitivity analyses. (A) Scatter plot of probabilistic sensitivity analysis for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) with biopsy versus transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUSGB) including a summary point that represents the overall estimate of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) over the 10 000 iterations. At a willingness to pay (WTP) of €50 000 per quality-adjusted life year (QALY), mpMRI with biopsy was cost-effective in 90% of the iterations. (B) Scatter plot of probabilistic sensitivity analysis for mpMRI only versus TRUSGB including a summary point that represents the overall estimate of the ICER over the 10 000 iterations. At WTP of €50 000 per QALY, mpMRI only was cost-effective in 14% of the iterations. (C) Scatter plot of probabilistic sensitivity analysis with the results reported by Ahmed et al [28] for mpMRI with biopsy versus TRUSGB, including a summary point that represents the overall estimate of the ICER over the 10 000 iterations. At WTP of €50 000 per QALY, mpMRI with biopsy was cost-effective in 97% of the iterations. (D) Scatter plot of probabilistic sensitivity analysis for the results reported by Ahmed et al [28] for mpMRI only versus TRUSGB, including a summary points that represents the overall estimate of the ICER over the 10 000 iterations. At WTP of €50 000 per QALY, mpMRI only was cost-effective in 17% of the iterations.
