Maximal health gains and incremental costs per QALY for a range of different budgets. Net present values over a lifetime horizon. Discount rates 4% for costs and 1.5% for QALYs, price level 2007. Interventions added as compared to the set chosen for the budget in the previous row are indicated by +, interventions removed are indicated by -.
ⁱ A list of the interventions and their abbreviations is given in Table 2.
ⁱⁱ That is, more money was spent on the same set of interventions as in the previous row
