- - The objective of the study was to review and compare economic evaluations related to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), specifically focusing on decision analytic models used in assessing interventions.
- - A literature review identified 22 relevant articles from 15 countries, highlighting various interventions such as medications and surgeries, with Markov models being the most commonly used modeling approach.
- - The findings indicate that while current decision analytic models can inform future research, there are notable gaps, particularly regarding unexplored interventions and the justification of modeling assumptions.
