aRisk transition probability was estimated using Markov model order 2, adjusted for age and gender distribution of KNHIC.

bComparing average cost in each T1-T2 risk state pair (e.g. high-medium) to that of the low-low (T1-T2).

cAll probabilities were rounded off at the 3rd decimal place (i.e.0.0014).
