The cost-effectiveness of person-centred care provided to patients with chronic heart failure and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Article in Health policy OPEN, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Efforts have been made to implement a more person-centred healthcare approach in several countries. The cost-effectiveness of person-centred care is to a large extent unknown, even though it has been demonstrated to decrease total healthcare costs and to be cost-effective in some settings and conditions. The objective of this study is to estimate costs, effects and the overall cost-effectiveness, of person-centred care compared to usual care, for patients with chronic heart failure and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: A randomized controlled trial including patients with chronic heart failure and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was conducted at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. Person-centred care was given as an add-on to usual care for 103 patients, while a control group of 118 patients received usual care. The cost-effectiveness analysis was performed from a healthcare perspective, comparing health-related quality of life to healthcare costs, over a 6-month time horizon. Results: Person-centred care was found to be more effective, i.e. improve health-related quality of life, and to result in lower healthcare costs compared to usual care. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis showed that the likelihood of person-centred care being cost effective compared to usual care is 93%, for a SEK 500,000 willingness-to-pay threshold per quality adjusted life year. Conclusion: Person-centred care dominated usual care for patients with chronic heart failure and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from a healthcare perspective.
