Costs are reported in 2011 U.S. dollars.

Cardiovascular events were defined as a composite of cardiovascular deaths, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. UM or EM = ultrarapid or extensive metabolizer; IM or PM = intermediate or poor metabolizer; CYP2C19 = cytochrome P450 2C19.

a

Values reflect IMs or PMs for predominantly Caucasian populations.

b

Value of lower range imputed from upper range.

c

Value of upper range imputed from lower range.

d

All costs reflect adjusted August 2011 costs discounted at 5% to account for future value.
