Potential benefits of group cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia in outpatients with coronary heart disease versus usual care: an early economic evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Insomnia afflicts about half of outpatients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and worsens prognosis. We aimed to simulate the potential socioeconomic savings of integrating group cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (gCBT-I) into cardiac outpatient care for patients with CHD compared with usual care.

Design

Early health technology assessment using prospective and cross-sectional cohort data.

Setting

Secondary care for outpatients with CHD in Norway in a non-university hospital setting.

Participants

A hypothetical cohort of 100 outpatients with CHD and insomnia.

Interventions

Weekly sessions of gCBT-I over 5 weeks versus usual care.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Potential savings related to possible effects on revascularisa
