The @CMOR_Otago NZ-MOA Model shows walking cane and heat therapy cost-saving & QALY gain; aquatic exercise & intra-articular corticosteroids cost-effective, duloxetine, massage therapy, and oral NSAIDs are NOT cost-effective sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
topical NSAIDs and CBT only cost-effective at high willingness-to-pay thresholds.
Core treatments (education+self-mgt, exercise therapy, weight loss where indicated) not modelled in this study, which focused on the 2nd line (adjunctive) treatments from the @RACGP #osteoarthritis #CPG
Other @CMOR_Otago NZ-MOA Model studies show the 'Core' treatments are cost-effective - exercise therapy much more than the others. Arthroplasty also very CE for end-stage #osteoarthritis where it is indicated
