Values presented are the mean (standard error (SE)) of the intention-to-treat population from 20 imputed datasets. Adjusted incremental Quality Adjusted Life years (QALY) are adjusted for baseline utility. The confidence intervals (CIs) were derived from 10,000 bootstrap replications from 20 imputed datasets using the standard normal method
