C: Control group; I: Intervention group; Δ intervention − control group, ICER incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; MET-hours gained per person: MET-hours gained per person per day multiplied by the number of days of follow-up to make the effect comparable to the costs and, therefore, allow to compare interventions with different follow-up times
