Peyerl - Figure 19

Sensitivity analysis for Payer stakeholder (No NIV comparator) shows that savings are largly affected by the number of hospital admissions

This Figure illustrates an analysis like those in Figures 15 and 17, looking at a one-way sensitivity analysis for the payer stakeholder, and again we see that the two main cost drivers are the reimbursement that is required for hospital admissions for patients with no NIV and, equally important, the number of readmissions that are occurring per year.
