Anaemia intervention costing_Underlying data_Uncertainty analysis
Dataset contains the results of two sensitivity analyses of the unit costs of anaemia interventions.
See also AnaemiaInterventions_BaseCaseUnitCosts.
First, a one-way deterministic analysis was conducted to explore the impact of uncertainty in each cost component on the total unit cost. In this analysis, the model was parameterised with a lower or upper estimate for one cost component at a time while keeping the inputs for all other cost components at base case values. Results from this analysis are shown in columns H through O as follows:
- Commodity_Lower / Commodity_Upper: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with lower or upper estimates for commodity costs while keeping estimates for all other cost components at base case values.
- Supply_Lower / Supply_Upper: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with lower or upper estimates for supply costs while keeping estimates for all other cost components at base case values.
- ServiceDelivery_Lower / ServiceDelivery_Upper: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with lower or upper estimates for service delivery costs while keeping estimates for all other cost components at base case values.
- Program_Lower / Program_Upper: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with lower or upper estimates for program costs while keeping estimates for all other cost components at base case values.
The second analysis represented an ‘extreme scenario analysis’, where the maximum uncertainty associated with the unit cost of each intervention was explored by parameterising the model with the lower or upper estimates for all cost components at the same time. Results from this analysis are shown in columns P and Q as follows:
- All_Lower: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with lower estimates for all cost components.
- All_Upper: Total unit cost when the model has been parametised with upper estimates for all cost components
