Pretreatment values were obtained through patient recall of the previous 6 months. Healthcare resource utilization in the 6 months prior to initiation of treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA was compared with the subsequent 6 months by calculating a mean per-patient reduction as well as the incident event rate ratio for each type of healthcare resource utilization.
Mean reduction in visits rounded to the nearest hundredth ± standard deviation.
Calculated by the mean reduction in visits multiplied by the unit cost of each healthcare resource.
