*Covered young infants include all those who had at least one postnatal visit. Treated young infants were estimated by adding those who had at least 1 day of treatment for each regimen.

Pre-OP treatment costs include home-based care (surveillance, prenatal and postnatal care visits), links to the facility, and assessments at the facility under iterventions 1, 2 and 3.

OP direct treatment costs include human resource cost for the daily assessment of newborns and treatment under any regimen; costs of drugs, medicines and consumables for 7 days or less.

§Indirect and administrative costs include personnel costs for supervision, management and operation; costs of training, non-consumables and transport, communications and meetings.

Costs per covered young infant are presented at a two-digit level as the numbers are very close to each other.

Note: The total costs may be slightly different from the sums due to rounding errors.
