| Strategy | Average Total Cost | Incremental Costa | Average Total Effect | Incremental Effectb | ICERc |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard care | $160,889 | — | 2.3597 | — | — |
| Argus II | $382,754 | $221,865 | 3.9209 | 1.5612 | $142,112 |
Abbreviations: ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.
a
Incremental cost = average total cost (Argus II) – average total cost (standard care).
b
Incremental effect = average total effect (Argus II) – average total effect (standard care).
c
ICER = incremental cost/incremental effect.
