Both factors are required to assess if the rate of CKD progression is more rapid in AKI than non-AKI (but baseline CKD) comparators with equal kidney function at the time of hospital discharge.

After 1 year, it was assumed that the lung volumes in patients in the roflumilast and comparator arms were equal.
In contrast to all earlier designs of fail safe comparators, by employing ternary logic it provides three different output values, allowing to distinguish between the three indications "inputs equal and comparator working properly," "inputs unequal and comparator working properly" as well as "comparator malfunctioning".

Each category defines how costs and health benefits of the intervention compare to its comparator, i.e. higher, equal, below.
Given the lack of efficacy data for the UK comparator regimen compared to the aprepitant regimen, the model assumes that the UK comparator regimen has efficacy equal to that shown by the trial comparator regimen (Table 1).
