Table 6. Cost Effectiveness Analyses.

Scenario/Analyses Difference, adjusted forbaseline andparticipant/clustercovariates* Mean(95% CI) ICER, Cost (£)per QALY Probability Cost-effective at WTPper QALY gained:
£20,000 per QALY £30,000 per QALY
Base Case:
Total NHS and personal social services £270.72(–202.98, 886.04)
EQ-5D: QALY (12-month) 0.019(–0.019, 0.06) £14,248 0.58 0.65
Sensitivity Analyses:
(1) Base Case CEA, withmultiple imputation ofmissing data
Total NHS and personal social services £292.08(–216.88, 801.04)
EQ-5D: QALY (12-month) 0.017(–0.020, 0.054) £17.490 N/A N/A

(4) CEA using higher costestimate for CollaborativeCare, at meancost of £338.80
Total NHS and personal social services £337.02(–136.67, 952.34) £17,738 0.54 0.62
(5) CEA using a broaderperspective, including patientcosts and informalcare costs –£312.83(–2,339.93, 2,035.27) Collaborative Care is dominant** N/A N/A

*Adjusting for baseline measures, and pre-specified covariates for age (individual level), and (at the cluster level) deprivation (IMD), site, and practice size.

**Dominance: lower expected costs, with greater expected QALY gain.

WTP = willingness to pay; based in the assessment of incremental net benefit statistic, and WTP thresholds commonly applied in the UK NHS (NICE, 2013).
