Economic evaluation of a tailored therapist-guided internet-based cognitive behavioral treatment (ICBT) for patients with psoriasis: a randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: While the ICBT intervention was not considered cost-effective in the overall sample, subgroup analyses indicated that it was cost-effective for patients with relatively high self-assessed disease severity or self-perceived impact of psoriasis on daily life. It may be clinically relevant to screen for these characteristics prior to ICBT, in order to offer cost-effective care. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
