Fig 1 Model structure. Each circle represents a Markov state. The shaded circle labelled DEAD represents an absorbing state, from where a person cannot leave. Arrows indicate allowed transitions. The transition probabilities differ between the two groups (invited to ultrasound screening or not invited). Those not attending are assumed to be similar to the noninvited group regarding transition probabilities. AAA, Abdominal aortic aneurysm.
