Results: Our results suggest that KD is more effective and less costly, and thus cost-effective
compared with VNS, after 12 months. However, compared to CAU, neither KD nor VNS are costeffective
options, they are both more effective but also more expensive (D 346,899 and D 641,068
per QALY, respectively). At 5 years, VNS is cost-effective compared with KD and CAU (D 11,378
and D 68,489 per QALY, respectively) and has a 51% probability of being cost-effective at a ceiling
ratio of D 80,000 per QALY
