Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Helicobacter pylori Diagnostic Methods in Patients with Atrophic Gastritis

Figure 4

Cost-effectiveness plane of sensitivity analysis. If the prevalence of clarithromycin- (CAM-) resistant H. pylori was 0.45 (a), bacterial culture (BC) with antibiotics susceptibility testing was not dominated. However, if the prevalence of CAM-resistant H. pylori was 0.44, BC was dominated by serum H. pylori IgG antibody, rapid urease test, and urea breath test (b–d).
