Patients with inflammatory bowel disease who initiated immunosuppressants or biologic agents, or both, to control inflammatory activity were recruited consecutively. Data on the effects on disease activity (using clinical indexes) and quality-adjusted life-years (using the EuroQol 5 dimensions questionnaire) were collected. We calculated the costs of health care, equipment, and patients\u2019 productivity and social activity impairment. We compared the mean costs per patient, utilities, and bootstrapped differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We included 63 patients (21 patients per group). TECCU saved \u20ac1005 (US $1100) per additional patient in remission compared with G_control (95% CI \u20ac\u201313,518 to 3137; US $\u201314,798 to 3434), with a 79.96% probability of being more effective at lower costs. Compared with G_NT, TECCU saved \u20ac2250 (US $2463) per additional patient in remission (95% CI \u20ac\u201315,363 to 11,086; US $\u201316,817 to 12,135), and G_NT saved \u20ac538 (US $589) compared with G_control (95% CI \u20ac\u20136475 to 5303; US $\u20137088 to 5805). G_TECCU and G_NT showed an 84% and 67% probability, respectively, of producing a cost saving per additional quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) compared with G_control, considering those simulations that involved negative incremental QALYs as well.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a high probability that the TECCU Web platform is more cost-effective than standard and telephone care in the short term.
