All results are based on imputed data and comparing the 10TT arm to the control arm (n = 537). For participants with complete cost and effectiveness data (n = 166; 31%), the observed incremental cost was − £65 [95% CI − 924 to 794], incremental QALYs was − 0.040 [− 0.169 to 0.088], INMB was − £741 [− 3645 to 2163], and probability cost-effective was 31%

aHow missing quality-of-life data are assumed to differ from the MAR-imputed values. c control = 0.9 means that all imputed quality-of-life values in the control arm have been reduced by 10%
bMissing costs assumed to be MAR in all scenarios
