Propensity score with inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to adjust for baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. The predicted costs were estimated by using the generalized linear model coefficients for the adverse event and control cohorts, adopting recycled predictions.
CI indicates confidence interval; CNS, central nervous system.
