confusion
The study designed the Sinicized Cost Questionnaire based on Trimbos and the Institute of Medical Technology Assessment Cost Questionnaire for Psychiatry [Direct costs included registration, psychological treatment, medication, and rehabilitation. Indirect costs included transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, food expenses, medical and health care expenses due to illness, and the loss of productivity for patients and their families. To avoid confusion regarding the inability to work/study due to illness with unemployment/dropout, only the time spent in the hospital for consultation and treatment was counted as the number of days the patient was unable to work/study.The cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) method was used to measure the spending of the 3 groups. The results of the total cost divided by the reduction in the YBOCS total score reflected the cost required to obtain each unit of curative effect.
