Table of QALYs per month.

Month intervals	1st to 2nd	2nd to 3rd	3rd to 4th	4th to 5th	5th to 6th
Total number of patients in the cohort (n)	12	12	12	12	12
Alive patients contributing utility values at the start and the end of the month (n)	10	6	2	2	1
Deceased patients at each time intervala (n)	2	3	4	4	4
Patients with missing data due to dropouts (n)	0	2	2	2	2
Patients with censored datab (n)	0	1	4	4	5
Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY)c (median, IQR)	0.073 (0.062–0.076)	0.054 (0.020–0.076)	03 (0.000–0.033)	03 (0.000–0.083)	03 (0.000–0.083)

^aDeceased patients contributed with “0” utilities at the end of the month they died and for the subsequent months.

^bSome patients entered the study less than six months before its closure. Their utility values from three to six months were censored.

^cAs this represents a QALY score from a month, the maximum QALY, at full health would be 0.083 (e.g. 1/12).
