| Popis: | Key Points Question Is humanitarian global pediatric cardiac surgery in low- and middle-income countries cost-effective? Findings This economic evaluation found that for a cohort of 424 children who underwent operations in 10 low- and middle-income countries in 2015, the cost-effectiveness of the intervention was $171 per disability-adjusted life-year averted. Meaning Humanitarian pediatric cardiac surgery in low- and middle-income countries is highly cost-effective. This economic evaluation examines the cost-effectiveness of humanitarian pediatric cardiac surgery interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Importance Endorsement of global humanitarian interventions is based on either proven cost-effectiveness or perceived public health benefits. The cost-effectiveness and long-term benefits of global humanitarian pediatric cardiac surgery are unknown, and funding for this intervention is insufficient. Objectives To determine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention (multiple 2-week-long humanitarian pediatric cardiac surgery program assistance trips to various low- and middle-income countries [LMICs]) and to produce a measure of the long-lasting effects of global humanitarian programs. Design, Setting, and Participants International, multicenter cost-effectiveness analysis of a cohort of children (aged |
