a Probability of being abstinent/gaining 1 QALY.

b Per abstinent participant or per QALY; calculated according to the formula ICER/ICUR=(Ci–Cc)/(Ei–Ec); additional information available in Multimedia Appendix 1.

c Coded as 1=not abstinent and 2=abstinent.

d ICER=–40.300.

e ICER=–7.871.

f Based on the Dutch algorithm for the EQ-5D scores.

g ICUR=–25.500.
