Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratios (95% CI)

Measure Comparison
BPM-UC e-BP-BPM
Percent improvement in hypertension controla Dominated $16.65 (15.37, 17.94)
Decrease in mm HG systolic BPa,b $23.76 (21.32, 26.19) $65.29 (59.91, 70.67)
Decrease in mm HG diastolic BPa Dominated $114.82 (111.90, 117.74)
Cost per life-years saved
 Men (95% CI)a Dominated $1850 (1635.76, 2064.24)
 Women (95% CI) Dominated $2220 (1745.09, 2694.91)

Dominated is defined as no significant difference in outcomes between interventions for the intervention to be defined as cost-effective.

BP indicates blood pressure; BPM, blood pressure monitoring; CI, confidence interval; e-BP, Electronic Communications and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring to Improve Blood Pressure Control; UC, usual care.

a

Difference in cost and outcomes between e-BP and BPM arms significant at P <.05.

b

Difference in cost and outcomes between and BPM and UC arms significant at P <.05.
