  1. Cumulative values of 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations.
  2. CHD: coronary heart disease, ESRD: end-stage renal disease.
  3. *The value of additional state = (CB–CA)/λ+ (EA–EB).
  4. **Uncertainty = an absolute value of the difference of the value of the additional state (average) and the trial value of the Monte Carlo simulations.
  5. EVAS = the value of the additional state – the uncertainty (of the additional state).
  6. Figures in parentheses indicate values when the discount rate is 0%.
