One-year costs by evaluation strategy. Box plot showing median and interquartile range of cumulative 1-year medical costs calculated on a per patient basis according to treatment strategy when CTA/FFR_CT is given the same cost weight as CTA alone. The vertical axis indicates cumulative medical costs at one year. The top line of each box indicates the 75^th percentile, the dashed line within each box indicates the 50^th percentile (median) and the line at the bottom of each box represents the 25^th percentile. The triangles represent mean costs. Both median and mean costs were significantly lower in the CTA/FFR_CTcohort compared with the usual care cohort. CTA=computed tomography angiography; ICA=invasive coronary angiography; FFR_CT=fractional flow reserve estimated using computed tomography.
