utilization was measured by using the Resource Utilization in Dementia questionnaire and health related quality of life using the Short Form 12. Quality adjusted life years were calculated using the area under the curve and the subject based approach. Healthcare costs were assessed from the payer perspective as well as from societal perspective. Results:There were no significant differences in resource utilization/costs or health-related quality of life between intervention and control group at baseline. The Incremental-Cost-Effectiveness-Ratio (ICER) after two years of intervention will be presented at the conference by using a cost-effectiveness-plane and a cost-effectiveness-acceptability curve. Differences in quality adjusted life years, hospitalization and institutionalization between intervention and control group will be analyzed and presented in more detail. Conclusions:This analysis can add evidence to the existing inconclusive results of cost-effectiveness analyses of dementia care management programs.
