Selected Surgical Interventions in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Benefit-Cost Analysis
Author(s): John Meara*
Objectives: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), studies show that many types of surgical care are more cost-effective than other health
interventions. Global health funding for these interventions, on the other hand, is still sparse. To find out how economic benefits are measured, this
study conducts a scoping review of previous research on the economic impact of surgical interventions in LMICs.
Design: The data were systematically reviewed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for
Scoping Reviews checklist and the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework for scoping reviews. We selected 19 papers that quantitatively
examined the economic benefits of surgical interventions in LMICs from papers published between 2005 and 2020 using online databases.
