* One of the researchers was affiliated with Merck.
** Costs (2005 Canadian dollars) were calculated from the perspective of the ministry of health, and included those associated with vaccine acquisition and administration, conventional cytology, colposcopy, biopsy, and treatment following CIN 2/3. All future costs and outcomes were discounted at a rate of 3% per annum.
* Costs included those associated with wholesale drug acquisition, surgery, complications of parathyroidectomy, and death due to parathyroidectomy, and were calculated using 2005 US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Average National Reimbursement figures.
* This study was supported by Janssen-Cilag.
* The statutory health insurance perspective considered direct medical costs (practitioner fees, oral glucose tolerance tests, outpatient visits, and diabetes educator sessions). The societal perspective considered direct medical costs, nondirect medical costs (educational fees and patient exercise time), and indirect costs (patient consultation time and healthcare professional educational time).
* Costs were those associated with the intervention, such as training and delivery costs, and the usual costs of NHS treatment (pharmaceuticals, and GP and hospital visits).
* The costs (€; 2004 values), including the direct and indirect costs associated with illness, were discounted at 4% per annum. The analysis also included estimates of the beneficial effects for unvaccinated individuals (herd protection).
* The cost analysis from the provider perspective included only direct costs (medical visits, antibacterial consumption, antipyretic consumption, and hospitalization in a pediatric hospital) and benefits. From the societal perspective the analysis included direct and indirect costs and benefits.
* 2006 values.
* Physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health.
** General health, physical function, role function, social function, pain, energy/fatigue, health distress, quality of life, and health transition.
