*Bootstrapped estimates and CI.

†Probability of internet-CBT being cost-effective estimated by non-parametric bootstrapping.

‡Cost and outcome variables imputed using multiple imputation by chained equations.

ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; internet-CBT, internet-delivered cognitive–behavioural therapy; QALY, quality-adjusted life-year.
