Global comparison of the economic costs of coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, yet no comprehensive evaluation of its global economic costs exists. We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to examine the costs of CHD treatment by region and CHD subtypes, examine whether there are cost difference by sex, and examine costing methodologies.

Design

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of non-randomised studies.

Data sources

We searched Medline, Embase, CINAHL, EconLit and Google Scholar from 1 January 2000 to February 2023.

Eligibility criteria for selecting studies

We included observational studies reporting economic costs of CHD treatment and outcomes for adults that were published in English.
