The annualized healthcare cost of TKI treatment was estimated during the treatment-exposure period (calculated as costs for TKI prescription dispensed during a period from first to last prescription) and reproportioned for a 12-month period. Drug costs were evaluated using the INHS purchase price, i.e., costs after deduction of discount available for each LHU
