Notes: Calculations based on the publications of Sirchia et al7 and Howard et al.8 For each publication, an optimistic approach (“A”) and a realistic approach (“B”) was defined.
Abbreviations: Cum, cumulative; PPU, price-per-unit; PPP, price-per-product (system based approach); PPP2, price-per-product (institution-based approach).
