Costs of different strategies according to their effectiveness and the CP intervention cost.
The strategies included in quadrant I were more effective and more costly than “Screening strategy without CP”. The strategies included in quadrant II were less effective and more costly (dominated); the strategies included in quadrant III were less effective and less costly; and the strategies included in quadrant IV were more effective and less costly (dominant). The slope of the line between any two points represents the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for two pathways.

Incremental cost-effectiveness for the 10 000 Monte Carlo simulations on the cost-effective plane.
The scatterplots show the distribution of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for the different strategies. The ellipses show the central 95th percentile of each distribution. The overlaid lines have slopes that are equal to the willingness-to-pay threshold (€40000).
