There is an advantage for the treatment period, with a difference of UK £1086 in healthcare costs and £1284 in societal costs in favour of the therapy group, but costs are higher at follow-up.
The intervention dominates at
the post-treatment evaluation with both
lower costs and a greater proportion of
participants showing cognitive improvement
(mean difference 21%, 95% CI 0–41). At
follow-up, the cognitive advantage of the
intervention therapy (mean difference
21%, 95%CI 2–41) needs to be considered
against the additional costs
