  1. The 95% predicted intervals (PI) represent the 5 and 95th percentile of the 1000 probabilistic simulations conducted. Mean costs were rounded to the nearest dollar, and mean QALYs were rounded to three decimal places.
  2. ICER incremental cost-effectiveness ratio, PI predicted interval, QALY quality-adjusted life year.
  3. aThe assumed cost of psilocybin-assisted therapy is $5000 per treatment.
  4. bICERs portray the incremental cost per QALY gained and were calculated by comparing psilocybin-assisted therapy to standard of care. ICERs presented here were calculated using unrounded mean costs and QALYs and may therefore result in some discrepancy.
