The Figs 14 are uploaded incorrectly. Please see the correct Figs 14 here.

A. Overall increase in lives saved per patient, for each protocol, at 50% scarcity. B. Lives saved per patient by race/ethnicity, for each protocol, at 50% scarcity.

The greatest differences between protocols occur at moderate levels of scarcity (i.e. ~0.5 beds per patient), and differences between protocols decline at both high and low levels of scarcity.

A. Overall increase in life years saved per patient, for each protocol, at 50% scarcity. B. Life years saved per patient by racial group, for each protocol, at 50% scarcity.

While there is significant variance in numbers of lives and life years saved, there is a strong positive correlation between each statistic for all protocols.
