Costs
The mean direct and indirect cost per participant in the app-based
treatment group was \euro1,520 (95% CI: 1,512–1,532), including
indirect cost per participant in the care-as-usual group was
192–195) for UI-specific costs (Supplemental table S5). For both the
app-based treatment and care-as-usual groups, incontinence material
drove much of the UI-specific costs (\euro62 and \euro80,
respectively). Compared with app-based treatment, care-as-usual was
associated with higher costs for physical therapy, medication, and other
treatments for UI, equating to mean differences of \euro82, \euro9,
and \euro8 per patient per year, respectively. The cost of app-usage
was \euro1.10 per patient per year based on the scenario of 30,000
users.
