Economic Evaluation in Child Health

Beschreibung

Guidelines for conducting health economic evaluations have become increasingly standardized, however, they don't address the unique concerns of the pediatric population. The challenges of measuring costs and consequences in children, from neonate to late adolescence, are numerous and complex. With the growing acceptance of economic evidence to guide decisions in health systems facing economic constraints, it is imperative that these challenges be considered so that this population is not left out of evidence-based decisions.
