Cost-effectiveness and willing-to-pay thresholds for vertebral augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, what are they based on: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although there is substantial clinical evidence on the safety and effectiveness of vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, cost-effectiveness is less well known. The objective of this study is to provide a systematic review of cost-effectiveness studies and policy-based willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds for different vertebral augmentation (VA) procedures, vertebroplasty (VP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BK), for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs).

Design

A systematic review targeting cost-effectiveness studies of VA procedures for OVFs.

Data sources

Six bibliographic databases were searched from inception up to May 2021.

Eligibility criteria for study selection

Studies were eligible if meeting all predefined criteria: (1) VP o
