Outcomes of cost-effectiveness comparisons across groups

	LYG*	Cost difference	ICER
SOD vs SC (95% CI)	+0.25 (−0.05 to 0.55)	−€1507.37 (−€3186.45 to €171.72)	SOD dominates SC
SDD vs SC (95% CI)	+0.04 (−0.26 to 0.34)	−€757.67 (−€2522.56 to €1007.21)	SDD dominates SC
SOD vs SDD (95% CI)	+0.21 (−0.09 to 0.51)	−€749.69 (−€2439.35 to €939.97)	SOD dominates SDD

*Effects are discounted at 1.5% a year.

ICER, incremental costs effectiveness ratio (costs/LYG); LYG, life years gained; SC, Standard Care; SDD, Selective Decontamination of the Digestive tract; SOD, Selective Oropharyngeal Decontamination.
