Appendix 10Cost-effectiveness planes: base-case economic evaluation

Figures 29–34 show the cost-effectiveness planes for each age group in the base-case economic evaluation. Although there is uncertainty in the incremental costs and QALYs, systematic population screening has both higher costs and higher QALYs than systematic opportunistic screening in all cases.
