Abbreviation: SCS, spinal cord stimulation.
a
In both scenarios, we made a conservative assumption of a 5% annual increase in the overall number of funded cases.
b
In the future scenario, we assumed that the people who received 10-kHz high-frequency SCS would increase with an uptake rate of 5% annually (5% in year 1 and 25% in year 5).
