TABLE 2.

Probability, cost (US$/year/patient), SFDs and QALYs estimates used in the model

^*Cost estimates for each state of combination therapy consisted of the sum of costs for inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy plus drug acquisition cost for each dosage of LEV. Lower costs for each state of combination therapy (than sum of all four costs) were due to reduced health resource utilization after use of LEV. LEV: levetiracetam, SFD: seizure-free day, ST: standard therapy, QALY: quality-adjusted life year
