  • ‘N/A’ represents fewer than four interventions being considered. Options labelled as ‘Dominated’ or ‘Ext Dominated’ do not lie on the frontier.

  • *Results in NYHA I and IV patients are based on relatively low patient numbers and may be subject to bias due to the nature of trial inclusion criteria for NYHA I patients. For further detail see main text.
