Figure 2. One-way sensitivity analyses for the estimated economic burden of osteoporosis in Saudi Arabia (2019). Abbreviation. SR, Saudi Riyal. 3.75 Saudi Riyal = 1 United States dollar. The tornado diagram displays the difference in one-year burden when comparing the results of the sensitivity analyses to the results of the base case analysis. a ± 13.08 days of base case value. Based on standard deviation in Sadat-Ali et al.Citation8 The hospital lengths of stay for vertebral, wrist, and other fractures were varied in proportion to the change in hip fracture. b ± 33% (proportion of base case value). Range informed by Siggeirsdottir et al.Citation43 cAssumption informed by expert opinion. d ± 67% (proportion of base case value). Range informed by expert opinion. e ± 50% (proportion of base case value). Upper bound informed by Sadat-Ali et al.Citation8 Note, additional details of cost breakdown were supplied by the authors.
