  1. AUT = Austria; GER = Germany; SP = Spain; FRA = France; ITA = Italy; NLD = The Netherlands; LOS: Length Of Stay; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; TGCT: Tenosynovial Giant-Cell Tumour. Note: ‘Total medical visit cost’ includes the economic valuation of visits to GPs, visits to specialists, physiotherapy sessions and rehabilitation sessions.
  2. *Mean cost was statistically different (p-value < 0.05) from baseline moment according to the two-sample t-test assuming unequal variances
