Reporting of costs and economic impacts in randomized trials of de-implementation interventions for low-value care: a systematic scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

De-implementation of low-value care can increase health care sustainability. We evaluated the reporting of direct costs of de-implementation and subsequent change (increase or decrease) in health care costs in randomized trials of de-implementation research.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE and Scopus databases without any language restrictions up to May 2021. We conducted study screening and data extraction independently and in duplicate. We extracted information related to study characteristics, types and characteristics of interventions, de-implementation costs, and impacts on health care costs. We assessed risk of bias using a modified Cochrane risk-of-bias tool.

Results

We screened 10,733 articles, with 227 studies meeting the inclusion criteria, of which 5
