Key result

Health economic models of ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in elderly males showed substantial variability in cost-effectiveness results, with simpler models favoring screening.

Why the study?

Are health economic models of population screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in elderly males credible for informing decision-making?

Population

12 health economic models published between 1989 and 2003, with 9 focusing on population ultrasound…

Are health economic models of population screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in elderly males credible for informing decision-making?

Population

12 health economic models published between 1989 and 2003 evaluating ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm among elderly males.

Intervention

Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)

Outcome

Cost-effectiveness and credibility of health economic models

Health economic models for AAA screening in elderly males show large variation in cost-effectiveness results and poor methodological reporting, limiting their usefulness for policy decision-making.

Limitations

Uncertainty surrounding simplifying structural assumptions was not investigated by any model.
Poor reporting of methods makes it difficult to identify the most plausible and useful model.
Poor reporting of methods makes it difficult to identify the most plausible model
Reconciliation of model results is impossible due to substantial number of factors contributing to disparities

Campbell et al. (2007) conducted a review in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=12). Ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm was evaluated on Cost-effectiveness and model credibility. Health economic models of ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm in elderly males showed substantial variability in cost-effectiveness results, with simpler models favoring screening.
