Fig. E-1 Decision Tree 1. This is the decision tree for chronic periprosthetic infection in TKA. The top branch maps out the events for a 2-stage revision strategy. The probabilities for the events of the 2-stage revision strategy are based on compiled data from 66 published studies and of >5,000 patients.

Fig. E-6 Cost-effectiveness plane for Decision Tree 1. The x axis indicates the incremental quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) with 1-stage revision, while the y axis indicates the incremental cost of the 1-stage strategy. The solid blue and green lines are the willingness-to-pay thresholds of $50,000 per QALY and $100,000 per QALY, respectively. Data points to the right of these lines indicate that the particular trial is cost-effective according to the respective willingness-to-pay threshold. The greatest density of individual trials from the Monte Carlo Simulation is in the southeast quadrant, indicating dominance; the 1-stage strategy not only cost less but also produced greater health utility than the 2-stage strategy.

Data points to the right of these lines indicate that the particular trial is cost-effective according to the respective willingness-to-pay threshold. Although the number of individual trials from the Monte Carlo Simulation is not as great in the southeast quadrant as with Decision Tree 1, the majority of trials are still in the southeast quadrant. This indicates that the 1-stage strategy not only cost less but also produced greater health utility than the 2-stage strategy despite the increased recurrence of infection in Decision Tree 2.

Fig. E-8 Tornado charts displaying the most sensitive parameters influencing the optimal strategy for Decision Tree 1 and Decision Tree 2. Each parameter was varied 15%. The bar graph shows how the quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) change with these varying parameters. The blue and red indicate whether the parameter is increasing or decreasing, respectively. For example, if the reinfection rate with the 2-stage strategy decreases (red), the QALYs gained with the 1-stage strategy compared with 2-stage strategy also decrease.

TABLE E-1 Glossary of Common Terminology in Decision Analytics Terminology Explanation
Decision analytics
This is a popular discipline used in the financial, engineering, and project management fields to formally analyze important decisions. Decision analysis is especially useful in analyzing decisions with unknown variables and uncertainty in events. Predictive and prescriptive analytics have emerged from this discipline using forecasting, optimization, and simulation techniques. Utilization of decision analytics in medicine is a growing field, with techniques being utilized in cost-effectiveness studies
Discount rate This is a financial term used to capture the present value of future cash flows. The financial definition refers to the interest rate expected for a loan from a financial institution. The discount rate considers the time value of money such that 1 dollar now is more valuable than 1 dollar in the future. In cost-effective studies, the discount rate is not only used for monetary costs but also in determining health utility. The discount rate used in determining a health utility relies on the principle that a perfect health year now is more valuable than a perfect health year in the future
Markov model Also known as the Markov method. This is a stochastic method used to model transition states. The principle of Markov modeling depends only on the current state and not the prior states. The probability of transitioning from one state to another state can vary according to a predetermined distribution. Markov modeling is often used in studies analyzing cost-effectiveness to capture the value of different health states over time
Monte Carlo simulation
Also known as the Monte Carlo method or Monte Carlo experiment. This is a computational algorithm that relies on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. This decision-analytic tool is especially powerful when there are uncertain variables that can be modeled according to a distribution. This tool is often used in managing risk, as this method calculates not only the average value of each decision but also in what percentage of iterations a certain strategy is more valuable than another strategy
Rollback analysis
Also known as foldback analysis. This is an iterative algorithm used to determine the value of each node. The terminal node is calculated first while working backward to the initial decision node. The value of each decision is calculated by using the weighted average of the probability of events and the value of each decision tree branch. This analysis is commonly used in decision analytics and game theory
Cost-effectiveness plane
This is an important tool used to illustrate the difference in costs and effects between different strategies. With this visual representation, the viewer is able to clearly understand the spread of costs and health effects. The plane consists of a 4-quadrant diagram in which the x axis represents the incremental level of effectiveness of a treatment or strategy while the y axis represents the additional costs of this strategy. In the northeast quadrant, the strategy produces additional health benefits but costs more than the comparative strategy. In the northwest quadrant, the strategy not only costs more but produces fewer health benefits than the comparative strategy. In the southeast quadrant, the strategy produces additional health benefits while being less costly. In the southwest quadrant, the strategy costs less but produces fewer health benefits. This analysis is widely used in the health-care industry
Strategy tables Used for 2-way sensitivity analysis, this technique shows how the optimal strategy changes in response to 2 simultaneously changing parameters. This is a particularly useful tool in decision analytics when there is uncertainty in the probability of events, value of an outcome, or cost of a decision
Tornado charts Also known as tornado plots or tornado diagrams, tornado charts are useful in a sensitivity analysis, showing the importance of each variable in the decision model. The sensitive variable is modeled as an uncertain value, while other variables are held at baseline value. This shows how important this variable is in the decision model

*The published studies listed above were used to calculate the rate of reinfection after reimplantation. First, we pooled the total
number of patients for the analysis and then we totaled the number of patients who developed an infection. This gave us a 15.4%
reinfection rate.

*The published studies listed above were used to calculate the rate of reinfection after 1-stage revision. First, we pooled the total
number of patients for the analysis and then we totaled the number of patients who developed an infection. This gave us a 7.4%
infection rate.

suppressive antibiotics. A total of 2 patients were treated with chronic suppressive antibiotics. From all of the studies compiled,
there were a total of 17 documented patients treated. This translates to a rate of 11.8% for treatment with chronic suppressive
antibiotics.
