All assumptions are based on England (CALIBER) estimates of 63·25% of the total population older than 30 years, 13·74% older than 70 years, 6·32% 70 years or younger with an underlying condition, and 20·06% total high-risk group; and a 1-year mortality (Kaplan-Meier) for the total high-risk group of 4·46%.
