Cost analysis of nutrition & exercise therapy vs. usual rehabilitation in hip fracture
J Rehabil Med. 2016 Mar 29;48(4):378-85

175 patients who sustained a hip fracture were randomized to receive either biweekly visits from a physical therapist and dietician or social visits for 6 months. The purpose of this study was to perform a cost-utility analysis on a previously conducted trial. Findings indicated no significant differences in average costs, or average gain in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) between the intervention group and the control group after 6 months of treatment. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was $28,350 AUD per QALY gained, which was below the estimated cost-effectiveness threshold of $50,000 AUD, therefore indicating probable cost-effectiveness.
