includes one participant with 100 days in psychiatric ward/admission.
+
Here this data refers to proportion with hospital stay [resource use] at 4 mths follow-up and at 12 months follow-up (mths 5–12) questionnaire.
#
this is a weekly number of hours (weighted average of data reported at 4-mth and 12 mth follow-up), and requires×52 weeks for annual estimate of hours.
**Kruskal-Wallis (non-parametric) test: no statistically significant differences between groups, other than for OTC cost, and cost for days lost work by friends/relatives, which are statistically significant at p≤0.05.
