Appendix 7<br />

Sensitivity analysis? A probabilistic sensitivity analysis was undertaken which showed that<br />

results were sensitive to treatment success <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong><br />

patients with co-morbidities. Although <strong>the</strong> sensitivity analysis did not<br />

alter <strong>the</strong> results, <strong>the</strong> response rates used in <strong>the</strong> <strong>model</strong> may be<br />

questioned<br />

Modelling inputs <strong>and</strong> techniques appropriate? Unclear<br />

Authors’ conclusions UK treatment costs over 1 year appear comparable whe<strong>the</strong>r patients<br />

with BT <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n adding stimulant medication if needed resulted in<br />

higher overall annual treatment costs
