Figure 1 Model structure. Decision tree followed by a semi-Markov model. Transition rates between stages (progression or regression) are determined by natural history of the Barrett's esophagus. Patients with nondysplastic Barrett's and low-grade dysplasia will undergo surveillance. In the base case, patients with treatable symptomatic cancer are managed by esophagectomy and patients with surveillance-detected high-grade dysplasia or intramucosal cancer are managed by esophagectomy or endotherapy.

Figure 2 Cost-effectiveness plane comparing each screening method against no screening/no intervention for different management strategies: (A) endotherapy, (B) esophagectomy. The black dashed line represents the threshold of $45K per QALY. Gastroenterology 2013 144, 62-73.e6DOI: (10.1053/j.gastro.2012.09.060) Copyright © 2013 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 (A) Cost-effectiveness acceptability curve. (B) Cost-effectiveness acceptability frontier. For a given threshold of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (willingness-to-pay), the cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (top) gives the probability that each strategy is cost effective, and the cost-effectiveness acceptability frontier (bottom) indicates the probability that the optimal strategy is cost effective.

Figure 4 (A-D) Deterministic sensitivity analysis tornado diagrams for each of the 4 screening strategies modeled. Within each of the 4 panels, horizontal bands represent variation in ICERs for 1-way deterministic sensitivity analysis scenarios. The vertical line on each diagram represents the ICER for the main model (see also Supplementary Table 3).
