Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is vital in medicine. This review covers CEA principles, its limitations in anatomic pathology, and best practices for conducting robust studies.

Area of Science:

Medical Economics
Health Services Research
Anatomic Pathology

Background:

Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is increasingly critical across medical disciplines.
Evaluating the economic impact of medical interventions is essential for resource allocation.
Anatomic pathology plays a key role in diagnosis and treatment, necessitating economic evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive overview of cost-effectiveness analysis.
To identify and discuss the limitations of current CEA studies in anatomic pathology.
To highlight the benefits and standards for conducting high-quality CEA in this field.

Main Methods:

Literature review of cost-effectiveness analysis principles.
Critical evaluation of existing anatomic pathology cost-effectiveness literature.
