Health care expenditure differences between compliers and non-compliers across the full health care expenditure distribution. The decomposition analysis took the following potential confounders into account: age, sex, living in a French-speaking or Italian-speaking canton, degree of urbanity of place of living, having a high deductible, participating in a managed care model, having at least one supplementary insurance, having had an inpatient stay in the screening period (other than the index hospitalization for myocardial infarction), having had high medication expenditures of at least CHF 5000 in the screening period, number of pharmaceutical cost groups (which are drug-prescription based indicators for co-morbidities). Percentiles represent the 9 points in the HCE distribution that split the full sample into 10 equally large parts (deciles)
