EE238 Cost-Effectiveness of Online Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) Compared to Online Activity Management: FITNET-NHS Trial Findings
Most children in the UK with chronic fatigue syndrome/ myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS /ME) do not have local access to specialist support. We assessed the cost-effectiveness, from a UK healthcare perspective, of delivering online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for children with CFS/ME and their parents, compared to online activity management (AM). In addition, we conducted subgroup analyses for children with and without mild/moderate comorbid anxiety/depression. We also assessed cost-effectiveness from a wider perspective incorporating parental/carer and educational costs.
