ReviewCost-effectiveness analysis of radiosurgical capsulotomy versus treatment as usual for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Stereotactic radiosurgical capsulotomy (SRS-C) is an effective neurosurgical option for patients with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (TROCD). Unlike other procedures such as deep brain stimulation and radiofrequency ablation, the cost-effectiveness of SRS-C for TROCD has not been investigated. The authors herein report the first cost-effectiveness analysis of SRS-C for TROCD. ⋯ Compared to TAU, SRS-C for TROCD is more cost-effective under a range of possible cost and effectiveness values.
