Cost-effectiveness of screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

We aimed to synthesize the current evidence on cost-effectiveness of screening for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and to meta-analyse the incremental cost effectiveness ratios (ICER) to quantify the economic value of different COPD screening strategies on COPD development.

Methods

We searched for publications in MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases, until December 2024, without any restriction of countries or article type. ICER were retrieved and meta-analysis based on DerSimonian and Laird method was applied to pool ICER across studies.

Results

Of 1,108 originally retrieved papers, 12 articles fulfilled all search criteria which encompassed in total, 1,082,021 participants. Random effects meta-analysis revealed
