Cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis: a cost-effectiveness study using the EPiSODe model.

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
backgroundCognitive Behavioural Therapy for psychosis (CBTp) is an effective psychological treatment for Schizophrenia Spectrum and other psychotic Disorders (SSD). Despite guidelines recommending CBTp for all psychotic disorder patients, many SSD patients lack access to the treatment and little is known about its long-term cost-effectiveness. The aim of this study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CBTp for the treatment of psychotic disorders through scenario analysis from a healthcare perspective.
methodsIncreased implementation of CBTp was evaluated using a real-world SSD population (
resultsTAU+CBTp was a cost-effective treatment in 61.2% of the simulations. The simulated net present values for QALY gains were 0.038, and for incremental costs were €492 per patient on average, resulting in an expected incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of €12,947.
conclusionsThe evaluation shows that CBTp is likely a cost-effective treatment, although results were uncertain. These findings stress the importance of sufficient availability of CBTp for SSD patients. Making CBTp available for all eligible SSD patients may lead to substantial health gains for the SSD population and cost savings from the healthcare perspective in The Netherlands.
