Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

Study implications:
–No statistically significant difference in responder rates but higher toxicity and worse QOL
–Higher ketamine costs despite lower costs for other medications
–When costs and QOL are jointly considered, ketamine is neither effective nor cost-effective
