Value of information analysis of an early intervention for subthreshold panic disorder: Healthcare versus societal perspective.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Panic disorder is associated with high productivity costs. These costs, which should be included in cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) from a societal perspective, have a considerable impact on cost-effectiveness estimates. However, they are often omitted in published CEAs. It is therefore uncertain whether choosing a societal perspective changes priority setting in future research as compared to a healthcare perspective.

Objectives

To identify research priorities regarding the cost-effectiveness of an early intervention for subthreshold panic disorder using value of information (VOI) analysis and to investigate to what extent priority setting depends on the perspective.

Methods

We calculated the cost-effectiveness of an early intervention for panic disorder
