FIGURE 51. Updated model, including adjustment for competing risk of non-cardiovascular death: one-way sensitivity analysis for high-intensity statins (atorvastatin 20 mg/day) compared with no treatment (60-year-olds, 50 : 50 men : women, 10% 10-year cardiovascular event risk).

FIGURE 51

Updated model, including adjustment for competing risk of non-cardiovascular death: one-way sensitivity analysis for high-intensity statins (atorvastatin 20 mg/day) compared with no treatment (60-year-olds, 50 : 50 men : women, 10% 10-year cardiovascular event risk). Thirty most influential parameters shown. Positive incremental NHB implies that high-intensity statins is the preferred option (i.e. it would be associated with an ICER of £20,000/QALY or better vs. no treatment). CV, cardiovascular; RR, relative risk.
