base case

Description

Screening

 Undetected AF in % detected AF

0.33

Assumption (prevention, 1/3 ratio undetected AF to detectedAF)

 Sensitivity Preventicus screening

0.92

from DETECT AF [29]

 Specificity Preventicus screening

0.99

from DETECT AF [29]

 Positively validated screening results (after Holter ECG)

0.85

Adoption acc. to Wachter et.al [38].

OAC Efficacy

 Increased stroke rate with AF without prevention

4.20

mean: Wolf et.al [39]. SD: assumption

 Reduction of stroke rate through prevention **

0.70

Assumptions, based on Hart [22] and López-López [24]
