Table E1:

Deaths averted with current and scaled-up OAT coverages compared to no OAT scenario. Cells show median relative reduction in preventable deaths due to different causes with 95% credibility intervals in parentheses. Negative reductions (i.e. increases) in deaths are possible for some causes due to competing risks.

Status quo Scale-up OAT to 40% in the community (A) (A) + improve OAT retention (B) (B) + provide OAT in prisons (C)
