Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases
  • Systematic Review

Background:

  • Economic evaluations are crucial for healthcare decision-making.
  • Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) represent a significant public health burden.
  • Assessing the quality of economic evaluations in CVD is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically analyze and provide insights into the quality of economic evaluations in the field of cerebrovascular diseases.
  • To identify the strengths and limitations of existing economic studies in CVD.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted.
  • Trial-based full economic evaluation studies were included.
  • Study quality was independently assessed by two reviewers using a standardized checklist.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria.
  • The societal perspective was the most commonly reported.
  • Cost-minimization and cost-effectiveness analyses, often based on cohort studies, predominated.
  • Healthcare costs were included in all studies; patient and family costs were sometimes considered.
  • Costs were typically measured by tariffs, and effects by clinical endpoints and mortality.
  • Data were primarily sourced from hospital records.

Conclusions:

  • There is a limited number of full economic evaluations in the domain of cerebrovascular diseases.
  • The technical execution and methodological rigor of most existing studies were found to be limited.
