Abstract: (1193 Views)
Background: Chronic Stable Angina (CSA) does not respond to clinical interventions always. Therefore, enhanced external counter pulsation (EECP) has been approved by the Food and Administration Drug (FDA) as an effective technology. This study aimed to synthesize evidence on the economic evaluation of EECP in managing CSA through a systematic approach.
Methods: In this systematic review study, PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Sciences, Scopus, National Institute for Health Research Journals Library, and the University of York Centre for Review and Dissemination (CRD) were searched. The targeted population was people who suffered from CSA, and the main therapeutic intervention was EECP. The comparators were not limited to any particular ones. Outcomes were changes in the Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of angina pectoris, quality of life, and any other investigated relevant outcomes in the retrieved studies. The quality of studies was assessed through Philips et al and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools. We synthesized data through a narrative approach.
Results: We retrieved 7821 studies; among which 3 studies were included in the final phase. Two studies were systematic reviews and the Markov model economic evaluation. Another study was a partial economic evaluation.
Conclusion: All studies only considered direct costs. EECP is a cost-effective technology in managing CSA, however, the sensitivity analysis of the studies showed the cost-effectiveness ratio is varied considerably and further studies are needed to extrapolate its economic value.
