Table 4 Costs, effects, incremental analysis of costs and effects and cost effectiveness ratio

	Hospital treatment costs	Future costs (present value)	Total
Cost-ICU ($)	410212	524432	934644
Cost-ward ($)	234240	454158	688398
Incremental cost ($)	175972	70274	246246
Effects-ICU (QALYs)	567
Effects-ward (QALYs)	4913
Incremental effects (QALYs)	757
ICER ($/QALY)	3254

Incremental cost represents the difference between the total ICU patient cohort cost and the comparator cohort cost and was calculated based on the decision model assumptions and attributable mortality risk reduction, using the formula presented in detail in the methods section, and after discounting future costs and health effects at an annual rate of 3% to the year 2012. ICU: Intensive care unit; ICER: Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY: Quality adjusted life year.
