Probability of a fixed level of incremental quality weighed detected child months (QCM) between strategies. These graphs are the results of a multi-way sensitivity analysis where all model parameters were varied simultaneously within the ranges described in table 1. They give the probability that the incremental gain of QCM between two screening strategies exceeds a certain value (given on the horizontal axis). This reads as follows: With a probability of 95% the difference between UNHS and RS will be 1200 QCM or more. Results of 1000 trials of a Monte Carlo simulation with a time horizon of 120 months. (UNHS = Universal Newborn Hearing Screening, RS = Risk Screening, NS = No Screening).
