|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No compression stockings | 971 (342–2,197) | 4.040 (3.870–4.187) | |||
| Compression stockings | 1,518 (1,204–2,159) | 546 (−326 to 1,206) | 4.060 (3.891–4.202) | 0.02 (0.00–0.073) | 27,300 |
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY, quality-adjusted life-year.
a
Incremental cost = average cost (strategy B) – average cost (strategy A).
b
Incremental effect = average effect (strategy B) – average effect (strategy A).
Note: All costs in 2018 Canadian dollars.
