Treatments with versus without medication for children with behavioural difficulties in clinical practice: an economic evaluation with observational data.
Background: Economic evaluations of treatments for children with behavioural difficulties (i.e., characteristics of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)) usually rely on data of randomised controlled trials or are model-based. Findings of such studies may not be representative of cost-effectiveness and cost-utility in clinical practice. The current longitudinal study aimed to perform an economic evaluation of treatments for children with hyperactivity, impulsive behaviours, inattention, and/or behavioural difficulties using observational data that were obtained in clinical practice.
Methods: Parents of 209 children (aged 5-12) who were referred to 1 of 10 Dutch youth mental healthcare institutions and who received treatment with (n = 108) or without (n = 101) the use of medication, filled out questionnaires at three timepoints (baseline, and ~ 6 and ~12 months later). Propensity score matching was used to make both groups comparable. Outcomes included quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), ADHD and ODD symptom severity, and impairment. Costs were measured from a societal perspective. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated, and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves (CEACs) were derived to show uncertainty around the ICER.
Results: Results did not show statistically significant differences in costs and effects between children who were treated with medication (alone or in combination with non-medication treatment) and those who were treated without medication. CEAC suggested that medication treatment has a 55% probability of being cost-effective at the €80,000 threshold and 36% at the €20,000 threshold compared with treatment without medication.
Conclusions: Using observational data, our study did not provide clear evidence of the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of treatment with medication compared with treatment without medication in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) is a highly regarded international publication that focuses on the fields of child and adolescent psychology and psychiatry. It is recognized for publishing top-tier, clinically relevant research across various disciplines related to these areas. JCPP has a broad global readership and covers a diverse range of topics, including:
Epidemiology: Studies on the prevalence and distribution of mental health issues in children and adolescents.
Diagnosis: Research on the identification and classification of childhood disorders.
Treatments: Psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological interventions for child and adolescent mental health.
Behavior and Cognition: Studies on the behavioral and cognitive aspects of childhood disorders.
Neuroscience and Neurobiology: Research on the neural and biological underpinnings of child mental health.
Genetics: Genetic factors contributing to the development of childhood disorders.
JCPP serves as a platform for integrating empirical research, clinical studies, and high-quality reviews from diverse perspectives, theoretical viewpoints, and disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach is a key feature of the journal, as it fosters a comprehensive understanding of child and adolescent mental health.
The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry is published 12 times a year and is affiliated with the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH), which supports the journal's mission to advance knowledge and practice in the field of child and adolescent mental health.
