We have published a model comparing AS to open RRP. I am curious why the panel

Cost comparison between watchful waiting with
active surveillance and active treatment of clinically localized prostate
cancer. Urology. 2010 Sep;76(3):703-7.

Dear Dr. Corcoran:

As described on page 92 of the final appraisal report, we
discounted costs and QALYs at 3% annually.

Please let me know if you have
further questions.
