Dijk Barbara J. van den Hoofdakker Pieter J. Hoekstra Annabeth P. Groenman Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Background Economic evaluations of treatments for children with behavioural difficulties (i.e., characteristics of attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)) usually rely on data of randomised controlled trials or are model‐based. Findings of such studies may not be representative of cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility in clinical practice. The current longitudinal study aimed to perform an economic evaluation of treatments for children with hyperactivity, impulsive behaviours, inattention, and/or behavioural difficulties using observational data that were obtained in clinical practice. Methods Parents of 209 children (aged 5–12) who were referred to 1 of 10 Dutch youth mental healthcare institutions and who received treatment with ( n  = 108) or without ( n  = 101) the use of medication, filled out questionnaires at three timepoints (baseline, and ~ 6 and ~12 months later). Propensity score matching was used to make both groups comparable. Outcomes included quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs), ADHD and ODD symptom severity, and impairment. Costs were measured from a societal perspective. Incremental cost‐effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were estimated, and cost‐effectiveness acceptability curves (CEACs) were derived to show uncertainty around the ICER. Results Results did not show statistically significant differences in costs and effects between children who were treated with medication (alone or in combination with non‐medication treatment) and those who were treated without medication. CEAC suggested that medication treatment has a 55% probability of being cost‐effective at the €80,000 threshold and 36% at the €20,000 threshold compared with treatment without medication. Conclusions Using observational data, our study did not provide clear evidence of the cost‐effectiveness and cost‐utility of treatment with medication compared with treatment without medication in clinical practice. 10.1111/jcpp.14057 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
