Discrete Event Simulation Modelling of Long Term Cost-Effectiveness of Internet-Based Blended Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder: Extrapolation of the E-Compared Randomised Controlled Trial

The E-COMPARED trials aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of blended (face-to-face and internet-based) cognitive behavioural therapy (bCBT) compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU) for major depressive disorder (MDD). Five randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted over 12 months in primary care (Germany, UK, Poland, Spain and Sweden), and three in specialised mental health care (France, Netherlands and Switzerland). The current studies objective was to use Discrete Event Simulation (DES) to extrapolate the cost-effectiveness of bCBT versus TAU over five years.
