A multidisciplinary lifestyle programme for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic syndrome-associated osteoarthritis: economic evaluation alongside the ‘Plants for Joints’ randomized controlled trials
The Plants for Joints intervention demonstrated a relatively high probability of cost-effectiveness from a societal perspective, although this was lower from a healthcare perspective. If these benefits are sustained in the long term, this intervention may reduce the disease and economic burden of arthritic conditions.
