Average costs per patient were calculated using undiscounted cost outputs generated from our model simulations running for year 1 to year 5. For example, the coverage cost in year 4 was obtained by subtracting a 5-year cumulative cost estimate from a 4-year cumulative cost estimate, for usual care: Average cost for year 5 only = $16,627 – $13,009 = $3,617.
