Evaluating cost-effectiveness of the COBRA-BPS programme on cardiovascular events in Pakistan, indicating potential savings in healthcare expenses.

COBRA-BPS programme shows marginal cost-effectiveness with an ICER of US$252 per DALY averted.
Higher costs incurred compared to standard of care, with incremental costs of US$105 and gains of 0.41 DALYs.
Analysis utilized a Markov model to assess long-term health outcomes and cost savings from avoided cardiovascular events.
Cost-effectiveness varies with thresholds, supporting the need for tailored health expenditure evaluations.
