Health Economic Research Assessing the Value of Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most prominent cause of death worldwide and has a major impact on healthcare budgets. While early detection strategies may reduce the overall CVD burden through earlier treatment, it is unclear which strategies are (most) efficient.

Aim

This systematic review reports on the cost effectiveness of recent early detection strategies for CVD in adult populations at risk.

Methods

PubMed and Scopus were searched to identify scientific articles published between January 2016 and May 2022. The first reviewer screened all articles, a second reviewer independently assessed a random 10% sample of the articles for validation. Discrepancies were solved through discussion, involving a third reviewer if necessary. All costs were conver
