Table 2.
Base case and one-way deterministic sensitivity analyses Table 2 reports the average discounted life expectancy, discounted cost, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) for the PA program with SOC compared to SOC alone for the base case analysis and all one-way deterministic sensitivity analyses.

ΔCost and ΔQALY are relative to SOC treatment regimen with the same natural history characteristics.
For each pair of runs, the “Ref” comparator mirrors the cohort parameters varied but is run with only SOC.
Reduced savings refers to the decrements to annual background medical costs associated with being active and insufficiently active. Under 100% reduced savings, background annual medical costs were the same for all subjects, regardless of PA level.
Lower and upper QoL bounds refer to the lower and upper 95% confidence interval values for the increments to applied annual QoL utility increment associated with being active and insufficiently active.
