Confidence intervals reflect 2 standard deviations around the mean result from 10,000 simulations. The estimated number of averted cases per year in each cohort (incorporating the population size and rate of events in each cohort) are provided in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0044037#pone.0044037.s014" target="_blank">Table S7</a>.
