What is Cost‐effectiveness of an in‐home respite care program to support informal caregivers of persons with dementia: A model‐based analysis about?
## Objectives: To evaluate cost-effectiveness of an in-home respite care program in addition to standard community-based dementia care to support informal caregivers of persons with dementia compared with standard community-based dementia care. ## Methods: An age-dependent decision-analytic markov model was applied from a third-party payer and a societal perspective projecting results of a quasi-experimental study over a time horizon of 5 years assuming a repetition of the program every 6 months. additionally, to deal with uncertainty and to test robustness of the model scenario, one-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. ## Results: Implementing the program resulted in a quality-adjusted life year (qaly) gain of 0.14 in favor of the invention group compared with controls and an incremental cost of 1270€ from the third-party payer perspective and of 1220€ from the societal perspective. next, an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of 9042€/qaly and of 8690€/qaly was found in the base case, from the third-party payer perspective and the societal perspective, respectively. the scenario, one-way sensitivity, and probabilistic analyses demonstrated robustness of the
