Health gains and financial risk protection afforded by public financing of selected malaria interventions in Ethiopia: an extended cost-effectiveness analysis

Table 4 Sensitivity analyses on the impact on deaths and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) cases averted when long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets (LLIN) input parameters vary across income quintiles (Q1 = poorest; Q5 = richest), (low to high shows when input parameters are decreased or increased by 20%, respectively)
