MODEL STRATEGIES
This model assesses costs and outcomes for admitted severe and critical Covid-19 patients from time of admission to discharge or death.

Two competing strategies are modelled:
1. The "status quo" summarizes costs and outcomes for patients assuming usual care (no dexamethasone).
2. The "dexamethasone" comparator summarizes costs and outcomes for patients assuming usual care with dexamethasone at 6mg/day over 10 days.

MODEL OUTCOMES
Cost: mean cost (general ward and ICU) per admitted patient from the health care provider's perspective.
Health outcomes: mean DALYs and deaths per admitted patient.
Other: mean ICU days and inpatient days per admitted patient.
