Abbreviations: ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALYs, quality-adjusted life-years; USD, US dollar.

^aStrategies are listed in order of total cost per patient for a given population.

^bTotal health care costs are per person.

^cIncremental health care costs and QALYs are per strategy compared with the preceeding intervention.

^dIncremental ratios are the difference between costs divided by the QALYs of an intervention compared with the preceeding intervention.
