| ICERb | −636 (–13 607 to 12 127) | 7238 (–129 686 to 171 298) |
a
Confidence intervals were estimated using the bootstrap method.
b
ICERs were calculated by dividing the mean cost differences by the mean outcome differences.
CGAS = Children’s Global Assessment Scale; ICER = incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; SSBS = Spectrum of Suicidal Behavior Scale
