5.2.2.1.2. Results <strong>for</strong> patients <strong>for</strong> whom six months <strong>of</strong> anticoagulation <strong>treatment</strong> is appropriate<br />

Using a lifetime horizon, <strong>the</strong> manufacturer reported that rivaroxaban was dominant (i.e. provided<br />

more QALYs at a lower cost) compared with dual <strong>the</strong>rapy LMWH/VKA in patients treated <strong>for</strong> six<br />

months, using data by intended <strong>treatment</strong> duration, or estimated from <strong>the</strong> whole trial population<br />

(Table 32).<br />

Using data by intended <strong>treatment</strong> duration, <strong>the</strong> rivaroxaban strategy was less costly (savings <strong>of</strong><br />

£110.10) but also provided more QALYs (0.0108) compared with dual <strong>the</strong>rapy LMWH/VKA.<br />

Figure 11 shows <strong>the</strong> 15 most sensitive parameters using <strong>the</strong> NMB measure at a WTP <strong>of</strong> £20,000 per<br />

QALY gained using data specific to patients treated <strong>for</strong> six months <strong>and</strong> assuming a lifetime horizon.<br />
