This intervention study evaluates cost-effectiveness in public health surveillance systems, indicating implications for resource allocation.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of public health surveillance systems in Kenya and develop a framework for optimizing future investments.
Conducted a multilevel regression analysis on surveillance system performance and cost data
Used a two-level hierarchical model for cost-effectiveness estimation
Quantified uncertainty with 95% confidence intervals from robust standard errors
Identified diminishing returns on investment for syndromic surveillance systems
Found a 10% increase in spending correlates with only a 2.3% improvement in performance
Highlighted fragmentation as a key driver of inefficiency
