- *All costs, life-years, and QALYs are discounted by 3% annual rate.
- ϮQALY = Quality-Adjusted Life-Year; ICER = Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio.
- All QALYs are calculated using an adjustment of 0.82 utility per year when living with HIV and an annual discount rate of 0.03.
- The ICER value is calculated as follows: \( ICER=\frac{Cos{t}_{OptionB+}-Cos{t}_{OptionB}}{QALY{s}_{OptionB+}- QALY{s}_{OptionB}}. \)
