Popis: OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of telephonic health coaching and financial incentives (THC+FI) to promote physical activity in total knee replacement recipients. DESIGN: We used the Osteoarthritis Policy Model, a computer simulation of knee osteoarthritis, to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of THC+FI compared to usual care. We derived transition probabilities, utilities, and costs from trial data. We conducted lifetime analyses from the healthcare perspective and discounted all cost-effectiveness outcomes by 3% annually. The primary outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), defined as the ratio of the differences in costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) between strategies. We considered ICERs
