A cost-effective analysis of motivational interviewing with palliative care versus usual care : results from the Living Well Project
Article indépendant
Little is known about the impact of early palliative care (EPC) combined with motivational interviewing (MI) for persons living with AIDS (PWA). We compared the cost and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of EPC + MI (n = 61) versus usual care (UC) (n = 60) for patients with AIDS, not on antiretroviral medications, enrolled into the Living Well Project trial. Data on clinic, emergency department, and hospital visits were collected through self-report and billing records. Risk-adjusted average annual health care costs were estimated using a generalized linear model with a gamma log-link function. QALYs were calculated using the SF-12v2. Cost-effectiveness was defined as cost per QALY gained. Estimated intervention costs were $165 per participant. EPC + MI reduced costs by 33% (AOR = 0.67; CI 95%: 0.15, 0.93). QALYs did not differ between groups. Results suggest EPC + MI for PWA is cost-saving and maintains quality of life compared to UC due to reduced hospital and ED costs.
