Strategies Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (US$/years of life saved)
Cost of vaccination US$25 US$50 US$75 US$100 US$450 Risk reduction (%)
Pap test (3x) inferior inferior inferior inferior inferior 21.9
HPV-DNA test (3x) inferior inferior 500 500 500 30.7
Vaccine superior 300 inferior inferior inferior 42.7
Vaccine + Pap test (3x) 200 inferior inferior inferior inferior 55.6
Vaccine + HPV test (3x) 700 1,000 1,100 1,700 9,600 60.8
Inferior: more costly and less effective than the alternative strategy; Superior: more effective and less costly than the alternative strategy; Pap 3x: Papanicolaou test performed at 35, 40 and 45 years; HPV-DNA: hybrid capture test performed at 35, 40 and 45 years; Vaccine: vaccination of pre-adolescent girls between 9 and 12 years old
