Note. N = 57 so that ICERs are comparable at treatment termination and 6-month follow-up. Thus, total treatment costs in this table differ from total treatment costs presented in Table 1, where N = 63. ICER = [Treatment A mean (or median) cost - Treatment B mean (or median) cost] / [Treatment A mean (or median) drinking days per month - Treatment B mean (or median) drinking days per month).
Mean or median efficacy of a treatment is calculated by subtracting mean (or median) 6-month (or treatment termination) follow-up drinking days per month from mean (or median) baseline drinking days per month. These drinking day per month difference values were obtained from Table 2 “Baseline minus treatment termination drinking days per month” columns.
