Abstract
Older adults under treatment with oral antidepressants (ADs) experience an increased risk of falls compared to non-users. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an appropriate first-line alternative for the treatment of depression in older adults. There are currently no economic evaluations conducted comparing the two treatments. This research aims to explore the cost-effectiveness of CBT compared with oral ADs for depression in older adults, considering the risk of falls, fall-related emergency room visits (ERV) and their related consequences from a US Medicare perspective.
