Fig 1 Monte Carlo probabilities distribution of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). A cohort of 10,000 patients harboring intracranial aneurysm (IA) was simulated to undergo ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The probabilities distribution of the cost-effectiveness of the screening was plotted in this figure. The cost-effectiveness of the screening was represented by the ICER ($/QALY) as plotted on the x-axis. QALY, Quality-adjusted life-year.

Fig 2 Monte Carlo simulations of incremental cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained by ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) on a cohort of 10,000 patients harboring intracranial aneurysm (IA). The dashed line indicates the threshold of willingness to pay of $60,000/QALY. Dots below the dashed line are situations in which ultrasound screening for AAA is cost-effective.

Supplementary Fig 2 (online only)
Cost-effectiveness of ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients harboring intracranial aneurysm (IA) as a function of the coprevalence of IA and AAA. The screening arm dominated the model when the coprevalence is above 3.7%. ICER, Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY, quality-adjusted life-year.

Supplementary Fig 3 (online only)
Cost-effectiveness of ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients harboring intracranial aneurysm (IA) as a function of 5-year rupture rate of inoperable AAA (AAA size between 3 and 5.5 cm). The screening arm dominated the model when the 5-year rupture rate of inoperable AAA is above 5.5%. ICER, Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY, quality-adjusted life-year.
