Cost‐Effectiveness of Family Conferences to Reduce Polypharmacy in Frail Older Adults
The COFRAIL intervention affected QALYs rather than hospital admissions after 12 months. The intervention tended to be associated with higher costs and QALYs but was less likely to be cost-effective than usual care at commonly used willingness-to-pay thresholds. Long-term cost-effectiveness should be assessed.
