Overview

Evaluating cost-effectiveness of COBRA-BPS vs standard care shows reduced cardiovascular events, suggesting improved healthcare efficiency in Pakistan.

Key Points

  • COBRA-BPS programme results in higher costs but reduces cardiovascular events over a lifetime.
  • An incremental cost of US$105 led to a gain of 0.41 disability-adjusted life years, yielding an ICER of US$252 per DALY.
  • Long-term health outcomes were evaluated using a Markov model to assess cost-effectiveness metrics.
  • Results indicate COBRA-BPS becomes cost-effective at higher thresholds, highlighting the importance of considering local healthcare resources.
