Determinants of household catastrophic costs for drug sensitive tuberculosis patients in Kenya

Table 5 Deterministic sensitivity analysis with prevalence and determinants of catastrophic costs

Scenario (n = 1071)	Occurrence of catastrophic costs		Significant determinants**
Scenario (n = 1071)	%	n	Significant determinants**
Base case (BC)*	27	294	Pre TB exp Hospitalization Facility type Treatment delay BMI
10% threshold	54.3	582	Pre TB exp Hospitalization BMI
40% threshold	12.8	137	Similar to base case Age
Conservative estimate, direct costs***	20.9	224	Similar to base case

*Base case represents total costs/household expenditure; threshold of 20%, **Pre-TB exp = pre-TB annual household expenditure quintiles, BMI body mass index; ***Represents direct costs/household expenditure; threshold at 20%
