Cost-Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Liver Biopsy

Fig. 4. Three-way sensitivity analysis: frequency of major complications following “blind” liver biopsy, percent reduction of complications by ultrasonography, and additional cost of ultrasonography (for example, if the expected complication rate from “blind” biopsies was 2% and ultrasonography reduces the complication rate by 50%, cost savings can be expected if the cost of ultrasonography is between $50 and $100).
