ICER values or value ranges were ≤ 12,499 for very high likelihood, 12,500–17,499 for high, 17,500–22,499 for medium high, 22,500–27,499 for medium, 27,500–32,499 for medium low, 32,500–37,499 for low, 37,500–50,000 for very low and null for ICER > 50,000. The study of Annemans et al. (36) is not included since no price-year was available, and Foster et al. (38) was not included since ICER/DALY was estimated. In Bós et al. estimates are presented from intervention start; estimates from the start of randomization as well as ICERs for the payer perspective were available in the publication, but not presented here, for purpose of comparison with the other three studies (37).
