Figure 2 ICER for screening in multivariate sensitivity analyses for most favorable (slower progression) and least favorable (faster progression) scenarios of the estimates related to treatment effectiveness and disease progression in natural history. *The least favorable scenario, with faster disease progression, was assessed by applying the low progression rates for spontaneous or sustained virologic response with the high ranges of disease progression and emergence of resistance and the low ranges for the utility estimates. †The most favorable scenario, with slower disease progression, was assessed by applying the high range of progression to spontaneous or sustained virologic response, the low ranges for estimates of disease progression and emergence of antiviral resistance, and the high ranges for the utility estimates.
