^aSince standard deviations were not available on the literature, we assumed a deviation of 40% for treatment costs and long-term care costs, and 50% for the intervention costs [55]
^bIntervention costs decreas yearly by 28% due to decreasing adherence and additional by the age-specific care rate
^cFor details on calculation see appendix Table A1 and A2
^dLong-term care costs in the not-institutionalized setting were calculated by multiplying the age-specific care rate with an average value for long-term care costs (for details on calculation see appendix Table A3-A6)
